GH3 MOV File Repair?

I was shooting a rather long continuous take on my GH3 yesterday and the camera randomly turned off during the shot. I was able to start it up again and continue recording, but unfortunately the camera was not able to full "wrap" the .MOV file so my Mac is unable to play the clip. It recognizes the .MOV file, but cannot play it.

Has anyone has any success with any .MOV file repair software that would work on my Mac? Should I just write off the clip?
Fortunately, I had some backup cameras running but I would really love this file since it was my main camera angle.

Thank you.
 
Do the files play in the camera? If so, then you may need to use a different player in the Mac. Also try different software to edit the files.

Unfortunately, I am getting that corrupted file display within the GH3. I can't remember the specific icon, but I think it is a blue box with a white square and an exclamation point inside the box. The computer recognizes the clip as 2.13 gbs...but it doesn't appear it was properly wrapped in-camera to allow me to open/play it. Just curious if anyone had any luck with any repair software.
 
Well, I tried the lesser expensive version and it was able to restore about 3 minutes of the clip. So I decided to try "Treasured."
Wow!
They restored the full clip! I don't think I am missing more than about 30 seconds. Not only that, but they turned it around in less than a working day!
I had questions along they way and they were super prompt with replies and help.

Totally worth the $99 to restore 12 minutes of my life ;)
