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
