[mythtv-users] Lost data on recordings -- can recover?

[Lan Barnes]

OK, I screwed the pooch. I did a reinstall, extracted the mysql data on my
recordings, and proceded to save it on a partition that got reformatted.
Now I have the recordings in their pristine format, but the new Myth
install (very clean, thank you for asking) knows nothing about them.

What are my options? Is there a way to get them into Myth some way? If
not, can I transcode them and burn them somehow?

I can't be the first person to mess up this way. This implies that someone
has figured out a recovery path.

TIA,
