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_.

              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
