<p>If the image you posted is the file that the camera generated: No, you cannot restore the missing data. It has not been recorded and so you'd have to generate some where none was. Not possible, at least not if you don't want to paint each frame by hand.</p>

Dependent on the player, I sometimes see the right side of the video popping up on the left side. So I assume that the data might be included but maybe the header is corrupted? Maybe the player do not know where the origin of each frame is?? Is there some possibility to investigate h265 streams and headers in deept?

Ah, I see. It's always try and error with corrupted data, but you could try loading it in after effects, premiere, resolve, nuke, etc. and see if one of the programs manages to display the footage correctly. Alternatively, you could use Nuke to shuffle through each channel and perhaps rewire corrupt passages. If everything fails, just try to repack the file into a lossless h.264 .mp4 container and see how it behaves.

If the image you posted is the file that the camera generated: No, you cannot restore the missing data. It has not been recorded and so you'd have to generate some where none was. Not possible, at least not if you don't want to paint each frame by hand.
