Why does ddrescue care about "file systems"? Again, I was under the impression that ddrescue does bit by bit copying that I can then mount (and tell it the "filesystem" required).
Is this false?
I have also noticed that, sometimes, ddrescue has trouble ripping dvds, chocking out or producing a low quality rip, that will play perfectly on the same hardware with VLC
- ectopod 4y agoddrescue works with blocks and bytes. Audio cds are different. They contain a single physical bit stream interpreted as several interleaved logical bit streams representing e.g. audio, position, metadata, error correction. They are not a sequence of bytes. Cdroms and dvds put a block and byte abstraction on top of this so ddrescue can do something with them.
