Have you tried to encode it again using ffmpeg or handbrake? It might just be a codec / container problem

Yes, I tried with Handbrake, but no luck. In fact, handbrake creates a file in KB while my actually video is hundreds of MB and the new encoded video is useless.

That seems very strange.. It might be that your file is corrupt, can you send over the original clip?
