NAME

6       recovermov - recover movies from a filesystem image
7

SYNOPSIS

9       recovermov [options] device
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Recovermov  tries  to  identify mov movies from a filesystem image.  To
13       achieve this goal, it scans the filesystem image and looks  for  a  mov
14       structure at blocks starting at 512 bytes boundaries.
15
16       recovermov  stores the recovered movies into the current directory.  If
17       you want it to store them elsewhere, just go to the directory you  want
18       recovermov  to  save the movies into (using the cd command at the shell
19       prompt) and start recovermov from there, or use the -o option.
20
21       Note that device is not necessarily a physical device.  It may also  be
22       a  file  containing  a copy of the faulty device in order to reduce the
23       actual processing time and the stress imposed to an  already  defective
24       hardware.   dd(1)  or  ddrescue(1) may be used to create such a working
25       copy.
26

OPTIONS

28       -h     Display an help message.
29
30       -b blocksize
31              Set the size of blocks in bytes.  On most file systems,  setting
32              it to 512 (the default) will work fine as any large file will be
33              stored on 512 bytes boundaries.  Setting it to  1  maximize  the
34              chances  of  finding  very small files if the filesystems aggre‐
35              gates them (UFS for example) at the expense  of  a  much  longer
36              running time.
37
38       -i integerindex
39              Set the initial index value for image numbering (default: 0).
40
41       -n basename
42              Basename  to  use  to  create  the  salvaged  files.  Default is
43              video_.
44
45       -o directory
46              Change the working directory before restoring files.   Use  this
47              option  to  restore files into a directory with enough space in‐
48              stead of the current directory.  This option can be repeated.
49
50       -V     Display program version and exit.
51
52       All the sizes may be suffixed by a k, m, g, or  t  letter  to  indicate
53       KiB,  MiB,  GiB,  or TiB.  For example, 6m correspond to 6 MiB (6291456
54       bytes).

EXAMPLES

57       Recover as many movies as possible from  the  memory  card  located  in
58       /dev/sdc:
59
60              recovermov /dev/sdc
61
62       Recover  as many movies as possible from a crashed ReiserFS file system
63       (which does  not  necessarily  store  files  at  block  boundaries)  in
64       /dev/hdb1:
65
66              recovermov -b 1 /dev/hdb1
