How can I restore a corrupted level.dat?

Question

While I was playing Minecraft, my computer (running Ubuntu) crashed and my game I was playing got corrupted. I've managed to trace the problem to the level.dat and the level.dat_old files. All the code in these files have been erased. Is there a way that I can get back the old code and thus restore my saved game?

This video should help you, It has saved my world too, so I know that it works. If this doesn't help, try this video. (the second link's video has low volume, so if you don't hear anything, be sure to turn it up)
