Script to extract mp4 video at end of MVIMG jpg files created by Pixel 2

Motion Photos Script

The Google Pixel 2 creates files like MVIMG_20180625_163537.jpg that contain video in addition to an image. This git repo contains a bash script that extracts the video into a separate file.

script nog working?

Hi, I tried the script with terminal on my mac. In the folder I added a few motion photos that I downloaded from my Google Photo's account.
After using this command: sh mvimg_jpg_extract.sh *.jpg
The script started to search for JPG's and tries to extract but I get the following error

Not processing MVIMG_20190922_143525.jpg because the string 'ftypmp42' did not occur exactly once in file

Now I am not sure if this is the problem of the script or the download I got from Google Photo's? On there they all are motion photos

Extract JPG

Hi Keith, just wanted to let you know this also works the other way around to get the JPG part only from the MVIMG.
I was looking to remove the video of a few hundred accidental MVIMG's and your script helped out a lot!

In case you'd like to add jpg extraction as an option:
I just changed tail to head to get the part before "ftypmp42" and applied the new filename via local newFile=${file:2}

According to jpeginfo -c *.jpg the in this way extract jpgs are valid!
