NAME

       unecm - regenerate error correction codes from ECM files

SYNOPSIS

       unecm  ecmfile [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

       unecm  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.

       Because  ecm  only  discards  EDC/ECC  data  for  sectors  where   it’s
       verifiably possible to recreate that data, the process is lossless.

EXAMPLES

       unecm foo.bin.ecm
              regenerate the  ECC/EDC  data  from  foo.bin.ecm  and  save  the
              resulting CD image as foo.bin

       unecm foo.img.ecm foobar
              regenerate  the  ECC/EDC  data  from  foo.img.ecm  and  save the
              resulting CD image as foobar
