How is video data written to *.mov?

Where can I find out in detail - how is the data stored in the mov container?
I read on the Internet that the data inside the file seems to be stored in chunks that have a header of 8 bytes - the first 4 are the size of the chunk, the second are the type of data it stores.
I have a broken .mov file, it broke as follows: the camera overheated and hung during recording.
I wanted to write a recovery program in C. The idea so far is this - during the recording, the chunk was damaged / not recorded, respectively, after checking the chunk headers for size, try to restore / delete the chunk if the size of the read block does not match the size in the header.
