The ECM format is only useful in the context of raw sector-by-sector data files copied from an optical disk, such as bin/cue files. This utility strips out the error correction data (which is redundant and yet nearly impossible to compress) allowing standard compression tools to be much more effective at reducing the size of the disk image.
To decompress a .ecm file, use the following syntax:
ecm-tools.ecm -d -v < filename.ecm > filename.bin
Note that you must refer to this program with the snap name prefix.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install ecm-tools, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install ecm-tools
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
