Good points. My drive had large allocsize and was defragged nightly.
Even so all of my recordings were mpeg2 files and I couldn't find any
way to search for mpeg2 files. There are programs that will grab
jpegs, word documents, etc. But I couldn't find anything that could
identify mythtv recordings from raw hdd data.
