<p>You might want to whack it with <a href="https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo" rel="nofollow noreferrer">MediaInfo</a> (note the Windows GUI comes with adware, but the CLI version doesn't). If it can find stuff in there maybe we can save it. You probably can rescue it with <a href="http://ffmpeg.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ffmpeg</a> if MediaInfo can find something in it. You can double check this with ffmpeg's ffprobe too.</p>

You might want to whack it with [MediaInfo](https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) (note the Windows GUI comes with adware, but the CLI version doesn't). If it can find stuff in there maybe we can save it. You probably can rescue it with [ffmpeg](http://ffmpeg.org/) if MediaInfo can find something in it. You can double check this with ffmpeg's ffprobe too.
