RECOVERMOV(1)RECOVERMOV(1)NAMErecovermov - recover movies from a filesystem image
SYNOPSISrecovermov [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.
recovermov stores the recovered movies into the current directory. If
you want it to store them elsewhere, just go to the directory you want
recovermov to save the movies into (using the cd command at the shell
prompt) and start recovermov from there, or use the -o option.
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 aggre‐
gates 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_.
-o directory
Change the working directory before restoring files. Use this
option to restore files into a directory with enough space in‐
stead of the current directory. This option can be repeated.
-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
