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
