Re: MKV header & raw file recovery

Recovery of mkv files had been seriously improved since R-Studio 8.1.165145 (Oct 25, 2016). If you have an mkv file that R-Studio cannot recognize, please let us know.

R-Studio names such files using their metadata. But I'll pass your suggestions to our developers.abolibibelot wrote: ↑Sun Nov 11, 2018 5:00 am
A small but great improvement would be to get a consistent file naming pattern for “extra found files”, as in Photorec. Photorec's generated files are named fXXXXXX.ext, where XXXXXX is the number of the file's first allocated sector. That way, when doing several successive scans with different parameters (e.g. different file types checked / unchecked), the same file would appear with the same name in the recovery tree, which would prevent from extracting duplicates, or having to painstakingly verify each one by verifying its size and searching its first sector number in the hexadecimal viewer. (One caveat with the current version of Photorec is that this naming scheme is no longer valid beyond the 2TB mark, most likely because of a 32 bits limitation : for instance a MKV file carved at sector 4303643744 is named “f8676448.mkv”.) To keep a continuity with the current file naming scheme, files could be named with the first sector number and a padding of 0s depending on the total number of found files, for instance a JPG file located at sector 123456 could be named “00123456.jpg”.
