How to recover deleted files with Photorec - Ubuntu

This is how to recover files (undelete) from your computer. I use a cool free program called photorec to recover the data. You can recover movies, photos, mps, text, just about anything. Photorec has versions for window, linux, and mac so it should be similar to how I show you in Ubuntu.

I am currently recovering deleted files in an external drive with the hopes of recovering a particular .mov (video) file. It was deleted in my friend's PC. Now, it's recovered but it's in .jpg format, not in its original .mov format. Can it still be recovered in .mov format? The recovery process is still going on right now. Please, I need answers.

On Windows PC you place a file called photorec_sorter in the same directory as the "recup_dir#" directories and it will sort through all those tens of hundreds of thousands of files into their file types MP3 MPG WMV AVI JPG etc

I think Linux had the same equiv. in a python script but i'm not sure.
