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.

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 or g letter to  indicate  KiB,  MiB  or  GiB.  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
