📽️ Help! Corrupted mp4

So, I had a kernel panic while I was recording a video tutorial with OBS, and I had to hard reboot the computer because everything froze. Unfortunately, the ongoing record before the crash was corrupted at reboot.
It's an important piece of the video, and I can't retake it. So it ruined my long video tutorial... 😭

If someone here knows how to save the corrupted MP4 file, I'll be so grateful!

I don't have any way to help recover it, but (apologies if your mentions are already flooded with this) for future recording I understand Matroska containers are typically saved progressively, and so will corrupt less if interrupted?

@Snapai Thanks, and yes, lesson learned (the hard way) for the MKV workflow 😅
The solution: using a command line tool named untrunc github.com/ponchio/untrunc , RinCat in the thread fixed the mp4 with it.
