I mentioned it to Christophe GRENIER, and PhotoRec 6.12-WIP actually already 
recovers the necessary pieces, but it creates 2 files. 
One is a .mp4, one is a .mov.

If you cat the .mp4 with the .mov you actually get a working file.

With a little luck he'll find a way to have PhotoRec do this automatically
in some future version.
