title: Corrupt quicktime movie repair or recovery of some content
body: <p>I would like to try to repair (or at least recover) content from some corrupt movie files I have.  I was wondering if anyone could give me a good starting point in terms of what python  modules to look at. I was also looking to this as a project to keep my coding skills sharp while I am job hunting.</p>
  
  <p>I have seem some applications in the mac app store which seem to be written for the casual user needing to do some really basic fixes. I would like to understand better what is going on under the hood and have some control over the recovery process. It is very frustrating to spend the time running a recovery; only to get a very obtuse answer as a result.  If there is a better place to ask this quick; please point me to that as well. </p>
