如何修复由 MediaMuxer 生成的损坏的 Mp4 文件？

Question

I used MediaMuxer and MediaCodec to generate a mp4 video.

The video is playble after I call mMediaMuxer.stop()

However, when the user quit the app before I get the change to call the stop() method, I am left with a big mp4 file that is not playable.

Is there anyway to repair this mp4 file to make it playable?

Edit

Here is one example of a corrupted mp4 file

And I was able to repair the file using this online tool but this tool asked to upload a non-corrupted video as reference.

Here is the non-corrupted mp4 video that I used as reference. When I uploaded this video, the tool repaired my broken mp4 file.

So it is possible to repair the file but how did they do it?

If useful, here is the code I used to generate both corrupted and non corrupted

Answer 1

In general MP4 is not a good recording format. Usually the sample table is kept in memory and written on close. So in case of a power loss or an application bug - you loose the recording. Use a MPEG-2 Transport Stream or a fragmented MP4 then most of the written media remains playable. Most likely your file will contains just a MP4 'ftyp' and 'mdat' atom with the audio and video interleaved. With some educated guessing and knowledge about the video stream - there is chance to extract audio and video. https://fix.video seems to do it.

Correct MP4:
[ftyp]
[mdat]
[moov]
-end-

Truncated MP4:
[ftyp]
[mdat]
-end-

Fix.video parses your good file extracts the settings for audio and video. It uses the information from the good file to recreate most of the 'moov' atom. The missing sample tables 'stXX' are recreated by parsing your 'mdat' atom. The video chunks inside the 'mdat' atom are each prefixed with the length and the rest must be AAC audio.
