Unreadable MP4 video files (lost header)

[lightman]

Hi all,
My last 2 flights have driven me mad, after getting home I transferred my vids onto my H/Drive and after all were copied I found out that 2 of my 5 vids could not be played (I tried many kinds of players) but no play ;o(

Well after searching on Google I found out that sometimes MP4 are not fully written to SD cards in time to complete the file header (the info for image size, frame rate, running time and file extension) well after trying many types of MP4 file fixers I was ready to give up when I found out that DJI also have the same problem ;o)

So I downloaded the file ( FIX-DJI ) which fixed both files and are now perfect ;o)

FIX-DJI.zip

I hope that maybe this info can help others that have had the same problem.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all...

It can also be caused by turning off or pulling the aircraft battery without first stopping the recording.

Thank you for this information, thanks to it I was able to recover a corrupt family video that believed lost!
