I exported a movie from final cut pro into a quicktime file. Somehow my hard drive (firewire) lost connection at 99% - the file itself should be good, only nothing will read it. Is there any way to repair this?

ffmpegX thinks it's a MPEG 2 file, when it's really a DV file exported from FCP if that's any help

Probably won't work, but there are a couple of things you can try; running the file through DivX Doctor after setting it to process non-avis, or use the CLI-tool qtflatten (get it here) to try to make a new file. Both methods would take the data and "flatten" it into a new Quicktime file.
(To use qtflatten: open the terminal and drop qtflatten onto it, enter a space and drop the faulty file onto the window, enter a space and outfile.mov or something and it should save it to your home directory. The whole command would look something like "~user$ qtflatten path/to/faultyfile.mov outfile.mov" without the quotes.)
