Hey there! If you’re in a bind with that corrupted MOV file, I totally get it. Finding a reliable and free tool can be tricky, but there are a couple of options that have worked for many.
One freebie to try is Clever Online Video Repair. It’s not always perfect but worth a shot for a quick fix. Sometimes it gets the job done without a hitch. If that’s not cutting it, there’s also VLC Media Player. Believe it or not, it has some built-in repair features. For instructions on doing that, a quick search on their forums should help.
Alternatively, you might want to look into Digital Video File Fixer. It’s another online tool that often saves the day when dealing with corrupted video files. It’s straightforward and doesn’t cost a dime.
For more detailed advice on video repair, you can check out this excellent thread on Apple’s forums: Pro Tips for Video Repair Tools. Lots of folks there have shared their experiences, and you might find something even more useful.
Lastly, always make sure to keep backups; saves a ton of headaches in the future. Good luck!
