[Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue outfile

[ron]

Sorry to contact you this way. But I have racked my brain trying
desperately to imitate that I am as intelligent as you guys and I am
totally out of energy.

I used ddrescue 1.19 to rescue a badly scratched CD containing photos of a
soldier who died recently. The family asked if I could retrieve images
from a damaged CD. I would be really excited to tell them I recovered the
photos using ddrescue on Linux Mint 18. The command was (as per your
manual's example):

--------------------------------------------------
ddrescue -n -b2048 /dev/cdrom cdimage mapfile
--------------------------------------------------


Now, I am totally blown away as to the next step. First, I don't know if I
have anything to offer them. Here are the results:

--------------------------------------------------
rescued:   320307 kB,  errsize:  18354 kB,  errors:     279

Current status
rescued:   322701 kB,  errsize:  15960 kB,  current rate:        0 B/s
   ipos:   338659 kB,   errors:     273,    average rate:     1251 B/s
   opos:   338659 kB, run time:   31.88 m,  successful read:      13 s ago
Finished
---------------------------------------------------

Second, I have searched for hours to figure out what to do with "cdimage".
I have the file on my hard drive. But nobody seems to be able to tell me
in stupid language how to turn "cdimage" into a photo CD.

Please help. I am at the end of my rope.


Thanks in advance,

P.S.   I am not charging these people anything to do this. They have
already paid a tremendous personal amount.
