Hi, I realise that this is a strange question, but can ddrescue use "ddrescue output" as input? I'll try to explain what I mean.
I have 3 dvds which were identical "burns" of a single iso file. Unfortunately, all 3 dvds are now exhibiting read errors. I've read all 3 of the "broken" dvds with ddrescue, so I now have the following files: isoDvdImage1 logfile1 isoDvdImage2 logfile2 isoDvdImage3 logfile3 I'd like to use ddrescue again to see if I can "combine" these images into 1 image with no errors (i.e. if every byte from the original iso file is readable from at least one of the iso images). I am already aware that I might be able to just recreate the original iso file by swapping out my 3 disks, but given that I have these 3 disks as "ddrescue-format" images, can I re-use these images to re-constitute the original iso file? I guess that this is quite similar to what the ddrescue manual calls "Automatic merging of backups", but instead of now having "two or more damaged copies of a file, cdrom, etc", I have "two or more sets of output files from ddrescue". I hope that this makes sense! Thank you in advance for any advice or help you can offer.
