Had some problems getting dvr-recover to work with windows 10
This is my procedure that is known to work
Found an old PC with IDE cable and installed Ubuntu desktop 12.04. Make sure your PC is connected to your network and enable openssh-server. Either use command line on the Ubuntu desktop or make remote connection with putty. Connected the drive from the DVR to be recovered into the Ubuntu PC.
Note: I choose Ubuntu 12.04 because it was around the time dvr-recover was written. Other versions may work just as well.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
Check which drives are connected
sudo fdisk -l
Make a drive copy, This many take a long time (hours)
cd ~
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=disk.img bs=10M
Install dvr-recover via Git
sudo apt-get install git
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/haliner/dvr-recover.git
cd dvr-recover/
python dvr-recover.py setup
python dvr-recover.py setup input add ~/disk.img
python dvr-recover.py setup export_dir ~/Videos
python dvr-recover.py create
python dvr-recover.py sort
python dvr-recover.py show
python dvr-recover.py export
Recovered videos will be in
CD ~/Videos
or
/home/user/Videos
