Help Me Fix This Rare Video So It Will Play

Can someone please help me fix this video so it can play again? I recorded this from an iPhone when I was 13 and was in foster care; it got emailed to me and it isn’t playable.

This video has rare Siemens Chime strobes and was taken at the TN Children’s Hospital in Chat-town.

you screwed up. its an image


i did my best. it gives an error

It was someone else who sent it and he says the file “wasn’t attached anymore” for some odd reason. It’s a *.mov fle.

didn’t let me convert it

Yeah tried all that, need an expert in here

The video is probably corrupted, it’s only 256 bytes.
This is what I get when I open the file in Notepad:


úÊÞ{{“mimeType”:“video/quicktime”,“fileName”:“IMG_0105.MOV”,“fileURL”=“file:///private/var/mobile/Library/Mail/AttachmentPlaceholders/86=990F4-B955-4C75-A510-61A937B37275”,“contentID”:“86D990F4-B955-4C75-A510-61A=37B37275”,“fileSize”:200833116}=


How do I “uncorrupt” it?

There is no binary data in the file that can be played back as a video, it is just content IDs.

I’m very sorry that I couldn’t restore it for you, can you try downloading it again? Or have the person resend the actual, playable file back to you in a working form?

Well he doesn’t have the video anymore it was sent around 2021.

I’m sorry to hear that, but nothing can be done without the actual video data.
Maybe I could find that tone for you or re-create it in Audacity if you’d like.

It’s fine, really. All they really are are just Faraday Chime strobes.
