  Description     : simple tool to recover truncated mp4, mov, 3gp files

untrunc is a small program which uses QT, ffmpeg and libfaad to rebuild the
index and, given a complete video as an example, recreate the moov atom,
thus rendering a truncated MP4, MOV or 3GP file playable again.

Ciao,
    I do not know what exactly this is... am I supposed to do something?

in any case I rewrote the software some time ago not to need Qt anymore,
and improving it a bit so that the range of format it is able to
recover is somewhat extended.

Hey.

Just for the records:

There seem to be on rather popular fork of the original untrunc
(https://github.com/ponchio/untrunc) at:
https://github.com/anthwlock/untrunc which allegedly have some more
features and bugfixes.

But the original seems also still receiving commits, so I cannot really
tell which one is better.
Ideally of course, the two would merge.


Cheers,
Chris.
