My wife has a Sprint S4 that is totally stock, no root or anything, never has been. We took a video yesterday (stored on sd card) and we went to send it via S Beam to her mother today who has a stock, non-rooted S3 (Sprint too). They both had low battery; my wife's was around 3% and her mom's was around 10%. When I tried to make the transfer, it appeared successful, but the video on her mom's phone wouldn't work. I assumed there was too little battery to complete the transfer, so I figured we'd just email it from home. Now the video won't work on my wife's phone, or my computer. The file shows as being 0kb even though it shows a duration of one minute and fifty two seconds.

Is this a known issue, and is there any way to recover the file?

It may just be the format was compatible since the 2 devices were of different generation test by saving the the video externally then copying it tonthe other devicel

I tried copying the file to my desktop and playing the file with VLC, which was unable to play it. The format on both phones shouldn't matter. Android (and Samsung) didn't stop supporting .mp4 files between versions of Android. The only thing I can come up with is that because the file was so large (228MB recorded in 1080p) that S Beam wasn't able to transfer it and subsequently corrupted the video.

S beam has no size limit because all it is is using WiFi direct to establish a connection and transferring it. S beam should not affect any files because all it does is send it should affect the original file. The problem might have been with the sdcard, was it a cheap sdcard? What's the capacity of the sdcard?
