<p>I have an mp4 file that I'm trying to recover. The file is missing a moov atom. I've tried all the usual utilities like ffmpeg, remoover, untrunc but all of them failed. I'm wondering now if it is at all possible to just extract a few frames from the video. It is timestamped security footage so any frames I could pull could be useful.</p>

Is it possible to extract frames from corrupted mp4?
