NAME¶
recovermov - recover movies from a filesystem image
SYNOPSIS¶
recovermov [
options]
device
DESCRIPTION¶
Recovermov tries to identify mov movies from a filesystem image. To achieve this
goal, it scans the filesystem image and looks for a mov structure at blocks
starting at 512 bytes boundaries.
Note that
device is not necessarily a physical device. It may also be a
file containing a copy of the faulty device in order to reduce the actual
processing time and the stress imposed to an already defective hardware. dd(1)
or ddrescue(1) may be used to create such a working copy.
OPTIONS¶
-h : Display an help message.
-b
blocksize : Set the size of blocks in bytes. On most file systems,
setting it to 512 (the default) will work fine as any large file will be
stored on 512 bytes boundaries. Setting it to 1 maximize the chances of
finding very small files if the filesystems aggregates them (UFS for example)
at the expense of a much longer running time.
-i
integerindex : Set the initial index value for image numbering
(default: 0).
-n
basename : Basename to use to create the salvaged files. Default is
video_.
-V : Display program version and exit.
All the sizes may be suffixed by a
k,
m,
g, or
t
letter to indicate KiB, MiB, GiB, or TiB. For example, 6m correspond to 6 MiB
(6291456 bytes).
EXAMPLES¶
Recover as many movies as possible from the memory card located in /dev/sdc:
-
recovermov /dev/sdc
Recover as many movies as possible from a crashed ReiserFS file system (which
does not necessarily store files at block boundaries) in /dev/hdb1:
-
recovermov -b 1 /dev/hdb1
