Need photos and vids from a disabled Ipod touch Gen 5

Hello - I have a Generation 5 Ipod which has been disabled as I entered the Pin wrong 10 times as I came back from holidays and totally forgot it. I don't have a backup in iTunes and need the photos and Videos from it. I have Linux Ubuntu and a Windows XP, 7 and 8 pc's. The other option which I thought of was to trash it and re-install the IOS, and then run a file recovery software. Thoughts? Please help..
