Failure-mode explanation
MOV is Apple's QuickTime video format — it's what iPhones, Macs, and many pro cameras record. MOV and MP4 are close cousins; they store footage the same way and share the same weak point. Each file keeps a small block of structural information that tells a player where the footage is and how long it runs. If that block is damaged or was never written — usually because a recording or transfer was interrupted — the file stops opening, even though the footage inside is often perfectly intact.
QuickTime, Photos, or your editor throws an error or shows a black screen, and it looks like the video is gone. Usually it isn't. filefix reads the footage that's present, rebuilds the structural information, and produces a playable MP4. You see a free watermarked preview and the exact recovered length before deciding to pay.
As with any repair, we can't rebuild footage that was never captured. A genuinely empty file has nothing to work with, and we tell you that rather than charging you.
