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 struc-
     ture at blocks starting at 512 bytes boundaries.

     recovermov stores the recovered movies into the current directory.  If  you
     want it to store them elsewhere, just go to the directory you want recover-
     mov  to save the movies into (using the cd command at the shell prompt) and
     start recovermov from there, or use the -o option.

     Note that device is not necessarily a physical device.  It may  also  be  a
     file  containing  a copy of the faulty device in order to reduce the actual
     processing time and the stress imposed to an  already  defective  hardware.
     dd(1) or ddrescue(1) may be used to create such a working copy.

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_.

     -o directory
	    Change  the  working directory before restoring files.  Use this op-
	    tion to restore files into a directory with enough space instead  of
	    the current directory.  This option can be repeated.

     -V     Display program version and exit.

     All  the  sizes  may be suffixed by a k, m, g, or t letter to indicate KiB,
     MiB, GiB, or TiB.	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
