If all else fails you can download a few things to repair it. I have done it on multiple occasions, when the Phantom couldn't repair it.
Step 1: use "recover_mp4_to_h264.exe" to create an h264 and avcc reference file from a good/working mp4 file of the same exact format. The reference file has to be the exact same format as the damaged file (720p 60fps, for example). It does not need to be the same length, just the same format. you can get the "recover_mp4_to_h264.exe" file for free online.
Step 2: use "recover_mp4_to_h264.exe" to create a new mp4 file from the damaged one, using the reference file's avcc you just created in step 1.
Step 3: use mp4muxer.exe to create an mp4 from the newly created h264 you created in step 2. voila!~
It's sounds like a hot mess of stuff to do, but it truly is simple. And there are clear directions in the read.me file that comes with the download. Both programs are free. I think you can get them for mac, but I had parallels running on my macbook so I just used the Windows versions. Step 1 and 2 is done at a dos prompt and I was having trouble getting terminal to work on my mac.
If you need help let us know! But it can definitely be done, and done for free! don't pay for it.
I should add that I just checked out the above posters program, and although it looks like he put a ton of time into it, and I am sure it works great, I am confused just by looking at it. So, for a layman like myself, I was able to get my method to work, with little prgramming knowledge. Someone more familiar with compiling and C would probably go with his method. I am sure they both work just the same!
