jpg being extracted as corrupted tif Topic is solved

[ricksimpson]

Hello,

while using this command line in a binary file, I have lot of corrupted tif files being extracted while they are in fact jpg

photorec_win.exe /log /debug /cmd "file.exe" partition_none,blocksize,1,search /d "recovered"

I took one of the corrupted tif files and added the jpg header @ the beggining of the file :
FFD8FFE000104A46494600010101006000600000FFE1005A457869660000

and it worked, however i cant explain why this is happening.

from the logs it seems photorec thinks these jpgs are corrupted:

Can you send me an unmodified jpg ? I will check if I can fix this problem.
In the meantime, no need to create a custom signature, you probably only need to disable tiff in FileOpts.

Hello,

2 files here: http://rghost.net/private/72tpZTKZR/844 ... efab22e03e

let me know if you need more.

thank you!

I need an unmodified original jpg, not a recovered tif.

[ricksimpson]

what do you mean by original jpg ? this tif file is a jpg in fact, just add the header bytes and it will be possible to view it

[cgrenier]

Yes, one original unmodified jpg.
Edit: nerver mind. I forgot the blocksize forced to 1.

I have uploaded a new 7.1-WIP. Can you try it ?

[ricksimpson]

it works, thank you!
