recovermov stops reading the disk using 100% CPU

[Tomo59]

I'm using recovermov to recover a 2TB disk like this:

sudo recovermov -o /mnt/videos1 /dev/sdc

After 2 tries, I have exactly the same symptoms: after this message:

mov file detected
writing to video_844.mov
recovery of video_844.mov finished

The process is using 100% CPU and I don't see any reading activity through iotop.

tomo@misti:~$ pidstat -dl | grep recovermo
15:35:34        0    363667     -1,00     -1,00     -1,00 2938223  recovermov -o /mnt/videos1 /dev/sdc 
tomo@misti:~$ ps aux | grep recover
root      363661  0.0  0.0  14852  3316 pts/0    S+   févr.10   0:00 sudo recovermov -o /mnt/videos1 /dev/sdc
root      363667 91.8  0.0   5888   996 pts/0    R+   févr.10 5563:45 recovermov -o /mnt/videos1 /dev/sdc
tomo@misti:~$ sudo strace -p 363667
strace: Process 363667 attached
[nothing is displayed]
^Cstrace: Process 363667 detached

Let me know how can I debug this further.

Thanks ! And thanks a lot for the great tools recoverjpeg and recovermov.

Here is the info about IO of the process:

tomo@misti:~$ sudo cat /proc/363667/io
[sudo] Mot de passe de tomo : 
rchar: 31264824084572
wchar: 49185078415
syscr: 3816972807
syscw: 6007693
read_bytes: 2000401489920
write_bytes: 49186758656
cancelled_write_bytes: 0

So I think recovermov read the whole 2TB disk before crashing. I'm killing the ongoing process.
