Tuesday, 26 February 2008 dvdisaster provides a margin of safety against data loss on
CD and DVD media caused by aging or scratches. dvdisaster creates error
correction codes to compensate read errors which are not correctable in the
CD/DVD drive and it tries to read as much data as possible from defective media.
Afterwards unreadable sectors are recovered using the previously created error
correction code. The maximum error correction capacity is user-selectable.
If you create the error correction code file in time and keep it at a safe
place, you have a good chance of recovering the medium contents from typical
read errors and to transfer your complete data onto a new medium.
