Augmenting images with error correction data |
Advanced settings
Choosing the image size. dvdisaster has a table of standard sizes for CD, DVD and BD media. Any media should meet these size requirements. Some vendors produce slightly higher capacity media. If you have such media, insert a blank one into the currently selected drive and click the "query medium" button (marked green) to the right of the proper medium type. dvdisaster will determine the medium size and update the table accordingly. Note: The medium size can only be determined in drives which are capable of writing the respective media type.
Arbitrary image sizes. You can set a specific image size which will not be exceeded after augmenting it with error correction data. To do so activate the button beneath "Use at most ... sectors" and enter the maximum image size in units of sectors (1 sector = 2KB).
