Thousands of 5.21 mb .mov files
Posted: 11 Jan 2016, 21:57
Hello,
I'm attempting to use qphotorec to copy some video files from an external hard drive.
I selected only .mov files from the file types. The process started out great and quickly coped 11 .mov files that I could open and play.
I left the computer for about an hour. When I went to check on the process I noticed that qphotorec had created many recup.direct folders and is creating 500 .mov movie files in each folder. Each .mov file is a different name but they are all 5.2 megabytes.
The program creates four of these 5.2 mb files each time it reads a certain chunk of sectors. I'm about 6% through and I have about 23,000 of these 5.2 mb .mov files created in 48 different recup.direct folders.
At the start of the process I selected "whole disk".
Is this normal?
Thanks.
