I have a 64 GB USB thumb drive with a recording of my father on it. Want to copy it and extract the video to share with family.

Here's what I have so far

Taking a snapshot (MacOS)

sudo dd if=/dev/disk2 of=/Users/papr/Desktop/samsung_tv_drive.img bs=1m

(Other disk backup tools (MacOS): TestDisk, ddrescue)

Other strategies/ideas:

  • Ask ChatGPT
  • Use Linux WSL2 on Windows
  • Use an HDMI Splitter
