Unable to play h64 video

[Algebro7]

Hello,
I've just tried this project after realizing that untrunc cannot recover files bigger than ~4GB, and I'm having issues recovering this mp4. I ran the tool and after a lot of messages like Got! 65638 bytes and 362 shit, I saw the following output:

  File: testing-out-video.h264
  Size: 10664699948	Blocks: 20829504   IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: fe04h/65028d	Inode: 55325937    Links: 1

I then attempted to play the video with ffplay and just saw an endless stream of the following errors:

[NULL @ 0x7f0b8c002900] non-existing PPS 0 referenced

I also ran aacfixer to try and recover the sound and got about 30 seconds worth of audio back, but the tool segfaulted. Let me know if I can provide any other information that would be helpful to debug. I'm afraid I can't upload a sample of the broken file because its quite large (~14GB).

Thanks!

Hi! You still need help?

Nope, @anthwlock was able to update his fork of untrunc to support large files and it was able to recover the video. Thanks!
