user14221: I have a quicktime video recorded on a Atoms Shogun.
When I tried to play the file it is only playing the audio and no video is coming up at all.
Delving deeper, I found out that no codec for the video was embedded in the file, only audio.
Is there any way to add the file codec to it?

user1871: You can try to repair the file with ffmpeg, a free command-line tool, like so
ffmpeg -analyzeduration 1G -i input.mov -c copy -map 0 out.mov


user13978: I would try two solutions, obviously on backups of the files, not the originals. First there is the 'untrunc' tool which tries to copy over additional information from a working file into a broken file: https://github.com/ponchio/untrunc
Then there is AtomicParsley which allows you to view file information on Mov / mp4 files on a very detailed level. Probably you can compare a working and a broken file and try to manually add the codec information.
