I was in Norway and I had an awesome time; I recorded my ride on the sledges, and my HTC Sensation turned off when I finished my ride because my battery ran out.
When I reached my laptop I found a 630 Mb video file my the phone, but I was not able to play it with VLC. Since I'm using Ubuntu, I tried to ffprobe my file and I received the following:

I had an idea that I might be able to use an older recorded video from my phone and simply copy the moov atom from that working file to the broken one. Any ideas about that? How can I fix this problem?
This could be happening due to various reasons. See ffmpeg - moov atom not found.
