Recover corrupted file

Hi,
I recently had a problem with my sdcard and all of my video after a minute or two got corrupted. Some of them the gopro manage to repair but a few other it didn't.
Let's say I have a corrupted file named GOPR3091.MP4. I can't see its metadata and the file icon shows a M4V extension instead of MP4 (I use VLC). If I use QuickTime to open it, it shows a "converting" message and then it fails saying it can't be opened.
So I was wondering if there's any free software or tool that would help me recover the damaged files in my pc (OSX 10.12.1).
Btw, that would be a great feature to add to GoPro Studio or Quik, file repair.
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Well it worked
You can also use this approach which can be used in Windows and OSX and uses a better UI.
Thanks.

If you are running on OSX I had the same problem after updating to Sierra OS. Solved by using a recent version of the app.
If you are running on Win, I can't help.
