Could you build this?
Partial The upload, preview, and payment flow is easy to build. Recovering frames and audio from corrupted video containers, however, requires deep knowledge of codec and container formats and careful binary parsing.
What it would actually take: The front end and payment handling are standard. The core is a repair engine built on ffmpeg or similar tooling, extended with custom parsers for MP4/MOV atoms, damaged headers, and codec bitstream recovery. Achieving good recovery rates on real camera failures requires a multimedia engineer who understands codecs and file formats, plus extensive test corpora of corrupted files.
