NAME¶
ecm-uncompress - regenerate error correction codes from ECM files
SYNOPSIS¶
ecm-uncompress ecmfile [outputfile]
DESCRIPTION¶
ecm-uncompress is used to recreate CD image files (ISO, BIN, CDI, NRG,
CCD or any other format that uses raw sectors) from ECM files, by regenerating
Error Correction Codes (EEC) and Error Detection Codes (EDC) striped by the
program
ecm-compress.
- Because ecm-compress only discards EDC/ECC data for sectors where
it's verifiably possible to recreate that data, the process is
lossless.
EXAMPLES¶
- ecm-uncompress foo.bin.ecm
- regenerate the ECC/EDC data from foo.bin.ecm and save the resulting CD
image as foo.bin
- ecm-uncompress foo.img.ecm foobar
- regenerate the ECC/EDC data from foo.img.ecm and save the resulting CD
image as foobar
