<li>"Raw" reading and C2 scans for CD media</li>
<li>Selectable number of reading attempts</li>
<li>First native Mac OS X application bundle</li>
<li>NetBSD-Port by Sergey Svishchev</li>
<li>Improved media type recognition</li>
<li>Info window describing inserted medium</li>
<li>Improved and enhanced preferences dialog</li>
<li>Reworked and enhanced documentation</li>
<li>Russian translations by Igor Gorbounov</li>
<li>... and many more small changes and fixes.</li>
</ul>
<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.72; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>0.72 pl4</b> Updated for new versions and programming libraries of
GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. (07-Apr-2012)<p>
<b>0.72 pl3</b> Fixed a problem with the "Verify" function when
working with RS01 error correction files larger than 2GB.
Thanks to Volodymyr Bychkoviak for reporting the problem and
sending a fix. (05-Okt-2011)<p>
<b>0.72 pl2</b>
This version introduces a workaround which prevents parallel SCSI
adapters from freezing under Linux.
Upward compatibility with versions 0.79.x has been improved.<br>
The Windows and Mac OS X versions are now built with the development
environment of dvdisaster 0.79.x and are therefore shipped with newer
versions of the GTK+ graphical toolkit libraries. This update requires
some changes in internal scripts resulting in a different checksum of the
source package (the package published on Oct 31th had the md5 checksum
86110e212aa1bf336a52ba89d3daa93d and is still valid for Linux, FreeBSD
and NetBSD).(07-11-2010)<p>
<b>0.72 pl1</b> Pablo Almeida provided Portuguese translations of the screen texts.
Added workaround to avoid Win XP freezing on certain CD-RW/drive pairs.(08-Aug-2009)<p>
<i>Update: The workaround has been found to be ineffective in some cases. A
better workaround is included in <a href="download40.html">version 0.79.x</a>;
unfortunately it can not be easily backported into the stable version.</i> (06-Feb-2010)<p>
<b>0.72</b> This is the first stable version of the 0.72 branch.
Igor Gorbounov has completed the russian online documentation.
Some minor bugs from the first release candidate have been removed.<p>
Newer Windows versions may not display the proper screen language
under certain language settings. This problem is rather complex
and will be addressed in the upcoming 0.73.x releases. (04-Jul-2009)
<p>
<b>0.72-rc1</b> First release candidate. (11-Apr-2009)

The RS02 error correction method
is fully supported in the graphical user interface. Images created
with RS02 can be used
with the adaptive reading strategy.<p>
Julian Einwag started porting dvdisaster
to Mac OS X / Darwin.<p>
Daniel Nylander provided Swedish translations of the screen texts.<p>
<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.70; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>pl6</b> Rolled back support for localized file names
as it broke large file support under Windows. A new handler
for localized file names will first be tested in the experimental version
0.71.25. <i>(04-Mar-2008)</i><p>
<b>pl5</b>
Fixes a problem with newer Linux kernels which may lead to a frozen system under
some circumstances. Treatment of file names containing localized characters has
been improved.
Contains backports of major bug fixes from 0.71.24. <i>(24-Feb-2008)</i>.<p>
<b>pl4</b> provides better compatibility with two layered DVDs
(DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL).<br>
Some minor bugs have been fixed. <i>(20-Jan-2007)</i>.<p>
<b>pl3</b> fixes incorrect recognization of unsupported CD formats which
produced a Windows blue screen under rare circumstances. Added cancel option
during RS02 initialization on DVD RW media.
<i>(10-Dec-2006)</i>.<p>
<b>pl2</b> fixes incorrect memory freeing when the program window is closed.
Unpacking of documentation screen shots is fixed for PPC platforms.
Only the source code archives have been updated.
<i>(03-Oct-2006)</i>.<p>
<b>pl1</b> fixes a bug in adaptive reading for RS02 which would sometimes result in
reading insufficient data for a successful recovery. Adds some small
improvements of documentation and usability. <i>(30-Jul-2006)</i>

Most important changes in this version:<p>
<ul>
<li>Support for <a href="qa10.php#media">Blu-Ray media</a></li>
<li>"Raw" reading and C2 scans for CD media</li>
<li>Selectable number of reading attempts</li>
<li>First native Mac OS X application bundle</li>
<li>NetBSD-Port by Sergey Svishchev</li>
<li>Improved media type recognition</li>
<li>Info window describing inserted medium</li>
<li>Improved and enhanced preferences dialog</li>
<li>Reworked and enhanced documentation</li>
<li>Russian translations by Igor Gorbounov</li>
<li>... and many more small changes and fixes.</li>
</ul>
<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.72; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>0.72 pl4</b> Updated for new versions and programming libraries of
GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. (07-Apr-2012)<p>
<b>0.72 pl3</b> Fixed a problem with the "Verify" function when
working with RS01 error correction files larger than 2GB.
Thanks to Volodymyr Bychkoviak for reporting the problem and
sending a fix. (05-Okt-2011)<p>
<b>0.72 pl2</b>
This version introduces a workaround which prevents parallel SCSI
adapters from freezing under Linux.
Upward compatibility with versions 0.79.x has been improved.<br>
The Windows and Mac OS X versions are now built with the development
environment of dvdisaster 0.79.x and are therefore shipped with newer
versions of the GTK+ graphical toolkit libraries. This update requires
some changes in internal scripts resulting in a different checksum of the
source package (the package published on Oct 31th had the md5 checksum
86110e212aa1bf336a52ba89d3daa93d and is still valid for Linux, FreeBSD
and NetBSD).(07-11-2010)<p>
<b>0.72 pl1</b> Pablo Almeida provided Portuguese translations of the screen texts.
Added workaround to avoid Win XP freezing on certain CD-RW/drive pairs.(08-Aug-2009)<p>
<i>Update: The workaround has been found to be ineffective in some cases. A
better workaround is included in <a href="download40.php">version 0.79.x</a>;
unfortunately it can not be easily backported into the stable version.</i> (06-Feb-2010)<p>
<b>0.72</b> This is the first stable version of the 0.72 branch.
Igor Gorbounov has completed the russian online documentation.
Some minor bugs from the first release candidate have been removed.<p>
Newer Windows versions may not display the proper screen language
under certain language settings. This problem is rather complex
and will be addressed in the upcoming 0.73.x releases. (04-Jul-2009)
<p>
<b>0.72-rc1</b> First release candidate. (11-Apr-2009)

The RS02 error correction method
is fully supported in the graphical user interface. Images created
with RS02 can be used
with the adaptive reading strategy.<p>
Julian Einwag started porting dvdisaster
to Mac OS X / Darwin.<p>
Daniel Nylander provided Swedish translations of the screen texts.<p>
<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.70; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>pl6</b> Rolled back support for localized file names
as it broke large file support under Windows. A new handler
for localized file names will first be tested in the experimental version
0.71.25. <i>(04-Mar-2008)</i><p>
<b>pl5</b>
Fixes a problem with newer Linux kernels which may lead to a frozen system under
some circumstances. Treatment of file names containing localized characters has
been improved.
Contains backports of major bug fixes from 0.71.24. <i>(24-Feb-2008)</i>.<p>
<b>pl4</b> provides better compatibility with two layered DVDs
(DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL).<br>
Some minor bugs have been fixed. <i>(20-Jan-2007)</i>.<p>
<b>pl3</b> fixes incorrect recognization of unsupported CD formats which
produced a Windows blue screen under rare circumstances. Added cancel option
during RS02 initialization on DVD RW media.
<i>(10-Dec-2006)</i>.<p>
<b>pl2</b> fixes incorrect memory freeing when the program window is closed.
Unpacking of documentation screen shots is fixed for PPC platforms.
Only the source code archives have been updated.
<i>(03-Oct-2006)</i>.<p>
<b>pl1</b> fixes a bug in adaptive reading for RS02 which would sometimes result in
reading insufficient data for a successful recovery. Adds some small
improvements of documentation and usability. <i>(30-Jul-2006)</i>

<h3 class="top">Digital signature</h3>
The downloadable dvdisaster packages have been digitally signed using
<a href="http://www.gnupg.org/gnupg.html">GnuPG</a> so that you can verify
that the software is in its original state.<p>
The signature has been made with the following <a href="../pubkey.asc">public key</a>:
<pre>
pub 1024D/F5F6C46C 2003-08-22
Key fingerprint = 12B3 1535 AF90 3ADE 9E73 BA7E 5A59 0EFE F5F6 C46C
uid dvdisaster (pkg signing key #1)
sub 1024g/091AD320 2003-08-22
</pre>
Feel free to send an email to <img src="../images/email.png" alt="email address display as graphics image" class="valigntt"> to obtain
the fingerprint directly from the developers.
Please include "GPG finger print" in the subject line.
<h3>MD5 checksum</h3>
Contrary to the digital signature, MD5 checksums are cryptographically weak:
It is possible to create a manipulated package which still has the same
checksum as the original. However MD5 checksums are sufficient for a quick
check whether the download has finished completely and without transmission
errors.

<h3>MD5 checksum</h3>
Contrary to the digital signature, MD5 checksums are cryptographically weak:
It is possible to create a manipulated package which still has the same
checksum as the original. However MD5 checksums are sufficient for a quick
check whether the download has finished completely and without transmission
errors.

<h3 class="top">Installation of the source packages</h3>
dvdisaster uses the common <tt>./configure; make; make install</tt> mechanism
for installation from source. Please see the file <tt>INSTALL</tt> in the
source distribution for further information.
<pre> </pre>
<a name="mac"></a>
<h3>Installation of the binary for Mac OS X</h3>
The ZIP archive contains an application bundle made for Mac OS X 10.5
on x86 processors. Unpack the archive at the desired place and click
"dvdisaster.app" to start the program.
dvdisaster is able to run under Mac OS X 10.4 and with PowerPC processors;
however in these cases you need to build your own version from the
source code.<p>
<i>Please note that the graphical user interface is still a bit rough around
the edges.</i> The GTK+ user interface toolkit is still in an early
development state for Mac OS X. The user interface may be sloppy or
freeze for brief periods. There may be glitches in the graphical output.
You can minimize these effects by not tinkering with the dvdisaster window
while any actions are in progress. Especially avoid resizing the window
and sending it to the dock.<p>
During the 0.73 development cycle some workarounds for these effects may
be implemented; otherwise the plan is to wait for improved versions
of the GTK+ toolkit.<p>
There are no plans for developing a dvdisaster version not depending on GTK+
as this would mean to completely re-write the program for Quartz.
Similar reasons hold for the Windows version btw ;-)
<pre> </pre>
<a name="win"></a>
<h3>Installation of the binary for Windows</h3>
Please install the Windows version by executing the setup binary
(e.g. dvdisaster-0.72.4-setup.exe) and follow the
installation dialog. <p>
<b>Caution:</b> dvdisaster can NOT be installed from
manually unpacking the setup.exe program, or by copying it from
an already existing installation. Doing so may result in strange
errors which seem to be totally unrelated to an improper installation.

<h3 class="top">Alpha (developer) versions</h3>
<b>Help us testing!</b> This page contains experimental dvdisaster versions
which are created on the way to the next stable release.<p>
<b>A word of caution:</b> This version is still evolving and some parts
are not yet implemented. It may contain severe bugs and fail in non-obvious
ways, even in functions which worked in previous versions.
Do not process important data with this version and do not keep images and
error correction data for archival purposes;
that's what the <a href="download.html">stable version 0.72</a>
is for.
<hr>
<h3>Planned changes in the new version</h3>
All platforms:
<ul>
<li> Implement some small additions which have been put on hold
during the 0.72 development cycle. <i>[not yet started]</i></li>
<li> Remove obsolete functionality. <i>[completed]</i></li>
<li> Clean up source code and prepare for multithreading and multi core
processors. <i>[in progress]</i></li>
<li> Implement the multithreaded RS03 codec. <i>[in progress]</i></li>
<li> Document RS03 usage. <i>[not yet started]</i></li>
</ul>
Windows:
<ul>
<li> Update the GTK+ toolkit and development system. <i>[completed]</i></li>
<li> Raise system requirements to Windows 2000 or newer (older
Windows releases are no longer supported by the development tools).
This makes support for ASPI drivers and splitting files into 2G
segments obsolete. <i>[completed]</i></li>
</ul>
MacOS:
<ul>
<li> Update the GTK+ toolkit and provide more workarounds
for the graphical user interface. <i>[in progress]</i></li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h3>Downloads</h3>
<a name="download"></a>
The alpha versions use the same package format as the regular releases.<p>

<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.72; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>0.72 pl4</b> Updated for new versions and programming libraries of
GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. (07-Apr-2012)<p>
<b>0.72 pl3</b> Fixed a problem with the "Verify" function when
working with RS01 error correction files larger than 2GB.
Thanks to Volodymyr Bychkoviak for reporting the problem and
sending a fix. (05-Okt-2011)<p>
<b>0.72 pl2</b>
This version introduces a workaround which prevents parallel SCSI
adapters from freezing under Linux.
Upward compatibility with versions 0.79.x has been improved.<br>
The Windows and Mac OS X versions are now built with the development
environment of dvdisaster 0.79.x and are therefore shipped with newer
versions of the GTK+ graphical toolkit libraries. This update requires
some changes in internal scripts resulting in a different checksum of the
source package (the package published on Oct 31th had the md5 checksum
86110e212aa1bf336a52ba89d3daa93d and is still valid for Linux, FreeBSD
and NetBSD).(07-11-2010)<p>
<b>0.72 pl1</b> Pablo Almeida provided Portuguese translations of the screen texts.
Added workaround to avoid Win XP freezing on certain CD-RW/drive pairs.(08-Aug-2009)<p>
<i>Update: The workaround has been found to be ineffective in some cases. A
better workaround is included in <a href="download40.html">version 0.79.x</a>;
unfortunately it can not be easily backported into the stable version.</i> (06-Feb-2010)<p>
<b>0.72</b> This is the first stable version of the 0.72 branch.
Igor Gorbounov has completed the russian online documentation.
Some minor bugs from the first release candidate have been removed.<p>
Newer Windows versions may not display the proper screen language
under certain language settings. This problem is rather complex
and will be addressed in the upcoming 0.73.x releases. (04-Jul-2009)
<p>
<b>0.72-rc1</b> First release candidate. (11-Apr-2009)

Daniel Nylander provided Swedish translations of the screen texts.<p>
<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.70; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>pl6</b> Rolled back support for localized file names

for localized file names will first be tested in the experimental version
0.71.25. <i>(04-Mar-2008)</i><p>
<b>pl5</b>

Most important changes in this version:<p>
<ul>
<li>Support for <a href="qa10.html#media">Blu-Ray media</a></li>
<li>"Raw" reading and C2 scans for CD media</li>
<li>Selectable number of reading attempts</li>
<li>First native Mac OS X application bundle</li>
<li>NetBSD-Port by Sergey Svishchev</li>
<li>Improved media type recognition</li>
<li>Info window describing inserted medium</li>
<li>Improved and enhanced preferences dialog</li>

<li>Russian translations by Igor Gorbounov</li>
<li>... and many more small changes and fixes.</li>
</ul>
<b>Patches</b> (small changes after version 0.72; files above have been updated):<p>
<b>0.72 pl4</b> Updated for new versions and programming libraries of
GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. (07-Apr-2012)<p>
<b>0.72 pl3</b> Fixed a problem with the "Verify" function when
working with RS01 error correction files larger than 2GB.
Thanks to Volodymyr Bychkoviak for reporting the problem and
sending a fix. (05-Okt-2011)<p>
<b>0.72 pl2</b>
This version introduces a workaround which prevents parallel SCSI
adapters from freezing under Linux.
Upward compatibility with versions 0.79.x has been improved.<br>
The Windows and Mac OS X versions are now built with the development
environment of dvdisaster 0.79.x and are therefore shipped with newer
versions of the GTK+ graphical toolkit libraries. This update requires
some changes in internal scripts resulting in a different checksum of the
source package (the package published on Oct 31th had the md5 checksum
86110e212aa1bf336a52ba89d3daa93d and is still valid for Linux, FreeBSD
and NetBSD).(07-11-2010)<p>
<b>0.72 pl1</b> Pablo Almeida provided Portuguese translations of the screen texts.
Added workaround to avoid Win XP freezing on certain CD-RW/drive pairs.(08-Aug-2009)<p>
<i>Update: The workaround has been found to be ineffective in some cases. A
better workaround is included in <a href="download40.html">version 0.79.x</a>;
unfortunately it can not be easily backported into the stable version.</i> (06-Feb-2010)<p>
<b>0.72</b> This is the first stable version of the 0.72 branch.
Igor Gorbounov has completed the russian online documentation.
Some minor bugs from the first release candidate have been removed.<p>
Newer Windows versions may not display the proper screen language
under certain language settings. This problem is rather complex
and will be addressed in the upcoming 0.73.x releases. (04-Jul-2009)
<p>
<b>0.72-rc1</b> First release candidate. (11-Apr-2009)

<h3 class="top">Bug reporting</h3>
Like all complex software, dvdisaster may contain bugs (programming errors) and
incompatibilities with certain (drive) hardware and software setups.
You are invited to tell us about any difficulties you encounter with the program
or the documentation so that we can improve things in future releases.<p>
To make sure that we are getting the right information, we have provided the
following checklist for bug reporting:
<h4>Please check first that you are really experiencing a bug:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Make sure that you are using the latest genuine version from our
<a href="http://dvdisaster.net/en/download">download site
at SourceForge</a>.
dvdisaster versions provided by third parties
may contain functions and bugs which are not present in the original version
(and we can't fix their problems).</li>
<li>Double check that the issue you have encountered is not already covered in the
<a href="qa20.html">Questions and Answers</a> section.</li>
<li>Please note that dvdisaster will only work with the (re-)writeable varieties
of media, so seeing it <b>reject</b> <b>DVD-ROM</b> and <b>BD-ROM</b>
is <b>not an error</b>.
Also, CD-Audio, VCD, SVCD and multisession CD are not supported as well as all
HD-DVD formats
(<a href="qa10.html#media">complete list of supported media formats</a>).</li>
<li>dvdisaster works only with real drives. Not supported are
network drives, software drives (e.g. alcohol) and drives in virtual
machines.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to report issues with the program:</h4>
Please report your findings by sending an email to
<img src="../images/email.png" alt="email address shown as graphics image" class="valigntt">. Your report should contain:<p>
<ul>
<li>Information about the operating system and dvdisaster version you are using;</li>

<li>a textual description of the issue you encountered;</li>
<li>a screen shot of the error message and/or output which might provide
further information about the problem;</li>
<li>differences between working and non-working configurations if the issue is

<h3 class="top">Typical applications</h3>
dvdisaster is a complex tool which would require a whole book to cover
all of its features. Since we are currently lacking the resources for
doing a book (and you might be short on reading time also) we will take a
different approach here.
First we will demonstrate how the <a href="howtos60.html">different
functions of dvdisaster work together</a>.
Then we will describe common tasks and provide step by step instructions
for solving them. In most cases following these
steps will be all you need to do. At the end of
each instruction set a discussion of
further configuration options is included for advanced users.<p>
<h3>Symbols used in this document</h3>
Working with dvdisaster requires certain combinations of optical media,
media images and error correction data. Check out the following symbols
to find out what you will need for the respective tasks:<p>
<b>Medium</b> (a CD for example)
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/good-cd.png" alt="Icon: Good medium (without read errors)"></td>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/bad-cd.png" alt="Icon: Damaged medium (partially unreadable)"></td>
<td class="w55p">These symbols indicate whether processing a medium
is part of the respective task, and if the medium
needs be completely error free or may already be damaged.
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>good medium (<b>no</b> read errors)</td>
<td>bad medium (<b>with</b> read errors)</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table><p>
<b>Medium image</b> (ISO image of a medium stored on the hard disk)
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/good-image.png" alt="Icon: Complete image"></td>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/bad-image.png" alt="Icon: Incomplete image (from a damaged medium)"></td>
<td class="w55p">Some functions do not work directly with the medium, but
with an ISO image on hard disk instead. Depending on the condition of the
respective medium the image may be complete or incomplete.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>complete image (made from good medium)</td>
<td>incomplete image (made from bad medium)</td>
</tr>
</table><p>
<b>Error correction data</b>
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/good-cd-ecc.png" alt="Icon: Medium containing error correction data"></td>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/ecc.png" alt="Icon: Separate file with error correction data"></td>

<h3 class="top">Typical applications</h3>
dvdisaster is a complex tool which would require a whole book to cover
all of its features. Since we are currently lacking the resources for
doing a book (and you might be short on reading time also) we will take a
different approach here.
First we will demonstrate how the <a href="howtos60.php">different
functions of dvdisaster work together</a>.
Then we will describe common tasks and provide step by step instructions
for solving them. In most cases following these
steps will be all you need to do. At the end of
each instruction set a discussion of
further configuration options is included for advanced users.<p>
<h3>Symbols used in this document</h3>
Working with dvdisaster requires certain combinations of optical media,
media images and error correction data. Check out the following symbols
to find out what you will need for the respective tasks:<p>
<b>Medium</b> (a CD for example)
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/good-cd.png" alt="Icon: Good medium (without read errors)"></td>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/bad-cd.png" alt="Icon: Damaged medium (partially unreadable)"></td>
<td class="w55p">These symbols indicate whether processing a medium
is part of the respective task, and if the medium
needs be completely error free or may already be damaged.
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>good medium (<b>no</b> read errors)</td>
<td>bad medium (<b>with</b> read errors)</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table><p>
<b>Medium image</b> (ISO image of a medium stored on the hard disk)
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/good-image.png" alt="Icon: Complete image"></td>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/bad-image.png" alt="Icon: Incomplete image (from a damaged medium)"></td>
<td class="w55p">Some functions do not work directly with the medium, but
with an ISO image on hard disk instead. Depending on the condition of the
respective medium the image may be complete or incomplete.</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td>complete image (made from good medium)</td>
<td>incomplete image (made from bad medium)</td>
</tr>
</table><p>
<b>Error correction data</b>
<table cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/good-cd-ecc.png" alt="Icon: Medium containing error correction data"></td>
<td align="center" class="w15p"><img src="../images/ecc.png" alt="Icon: Separate file with error correction data"></td>
<td class="w55p">Recovering media images by using error correction data

data is required.

nothing for DVD and BD media, but it is safe to remain activated unless it causes problems

Performing multiple read attempts is not recommended during a scan; set the number of retries
to 1 in the three places marked in orange. Collecting raw sectors should also be off

<b>Overview.</b> dvdisaster provides several information about the scanning results:

<li>The spiral under "<b>Medium State</b>" (to the right).<p>
The spiral provides information about the medium readability. The medium is
fully readable when all segments of the spiral are colored green. Yellow or red
blocks mark places where data could not be correctly read from the medium.
The total number of unreadable sectors is printed
in the <i>"Scanning finished:"</i> message
at the window bottom.<p>
</li>
<li>"<b>Speed</b>" - The reading speed curve (upper left).<p>
The reading speed is not an absolute gauge of the medium health,
but it is usable as a rule of thumb:
The more regular the curve, the better the medium.
You will find examples of good and bad reading speed curves further down this
page.<p></li>
<li>"<b>C2 errors</b>" - A medium state gauge provided by the drive (down left).<p>
This kind of analysis
is <a href="qa_pipo.html">currently only available for CD media</a>.
CD drives have a built-in error correction which can eliminate small data losses
caused by minor defects on the medium. The number of C2 errors is a measurement
of how often the drive needed to employ its internal error correction during
the read - this value should be zero on good media.</li>

<b>Overview.</b> dvdisaster provides several information about the scanning results:
<ul>
<li>The spiral under "<b>Medium State</b>" (to the right).<p>
The spiral provides information about the medium readability. The medium is
fully readable when all segments of the spiral are colored green. Yellow or red
blocks mark places where data could not be correctly read from the medium.
The total number of unreadable sectors is printed
in the <i>"Scanning finished:"</i> message
at the window bottom.<p>
</li>
<li>"<b>Speed</b>" - The reading speed curve (upper left).<p>
The reading speed is not an absolute gauge of the medium health,
but it is usable as a rule of thumb:
The more regular the curve, the better the medium.
You will find examples of good and bad reading speed curves further down this
page.<p></li>
<li>"<b>C2 errors</b>" - A medium state gauge provided by the drive (down left).<p>
This kind of analysis
is <a href="qa_pipo.html">currently only available for CD media</a>.
CD drives have a built-in error correction which can eliminate small data losses
caused by minor defects on the medium. The number of C2 errors is a measurement
of how often the drive needed to employ its internal error correction during
the read - this value should be zero on good media.</li>

<b>Overview.</b> dvdisaster provides several information about the scanning results:
<ul>
<li>The spiral under "<b>Medium State</b>" (to the right).<p>
The spiral provides information about the medium readability. The medium is
fully readable when all segments of the spiral are colored green. Yellow or red
blocks mark places where data could not be correctly read from the medium.
The total number of unreadable sectors is printed
in the <i>"Scanning finished:"</i> message
at the window bottom.<p>
</li>
<li>"<b>Speed</b>" - The reading speed curve (upper left).<p>
The reading speed is not an absolute gauge of the medium health,
but it is usable as a rule of thumb:
The more regular the curve, the better the medium.
You will find examples of good and bad reading speed curves further down this
page.<p></li>
<li>"<b>C2 errors</b>" - A medium state gauge provided by the drive (down left).<p>
This kind of analysis
is <a href="qa_pipo.html">currently only available for CD media</a>.
CD drives have a built-in error correction which can eliminate small data losses
caused by minor defects on the medium. The number of C2 errors is a measurement
of how often the drive needed to employ its internal error correction during
the read - this value should be zero on good media.</li>

<b>Overview.</b> dvdisaster provides several information about the scanning results:
<ul>
<li>The spiral under "<b>Medium State</b>" (to the right).<p>
The spiral provides information about the medium readability. The medium is
fully readable when all segments of the spiral are colored green. Yellow or red
blocks mark places where data could not be correctly read from the medium.
The total number of unreadable sectors is printed
in the <i>"Scanning finished:"</i> message
at the window bottom.<p>
</li>
<li>"<b>Speed</b>" - The reading speed curve (upper left).<p>
The reading speed is not an absolute gauge of the medium health,
but it is usable as a rule of thumb:
The more regular the curve, the better the medium.
You will find examples of good and bad reading speed curves further down this
page.<p></li>
<li>"<b>C2 errors</b>" - A medium state gauge provided by the drive (down left).<p>
This kind of analysis
is <a href="qa_pipo.html">currently only available for CD media</a>.
CD drives have a built-in error correction which can eliminate small data losses
caused by minor defects on the medium. The number of C2 errors is a measurement
of how often the drive needed to employ its internal error correction during
the read - this value should be zero on good media.</li>

Error correction data can be either created in form of a separate error

</ul>
<h3>More information on keeping error correction data</h3>
dvdisaster helps protecting your media from data loss by
forehanded<sup>*)</sup> creation of error correction data.
Error correction data must be treated like normal backup data, e.g.
you need to keep it available during the whole lifetime of the
respective medium.<p>
The easiest way is storing the error correction data on the medium
you want to protect. But this is only possible if the medium has not yet
been written: To employ this method you need to create an ISO image first,
then augment this image with error correction data, and finally write
the augmented image to the medium.<p>
If the medium has already been written, or insufficient space is left for
augmenting the image, you still can create error correction data in form
of a free-standing error correction file.
This file must then be stored somewhere else, e.g. you need to take additional
provisions to <a href="howtos24.html">archive</a> your error
correction files.<p>
More information about the pro and con of these methods
can be found in the <a href="qa33.html#table">background information</a> section.

Error correction data can be either created in form of a separate error
correction file or it can be placed directly onto the medium.
Click on the answers to the following questions to find out which
method is most appropriate for you.<p>
<i>Do you need error correction data for a medium which already exists?</i>
<ul>
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=1.html" class="passive">Yes, the medium has already been written.</a></li>
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=2.html" class="active">No, but I am planning to write the medium now.</a></li>
</ul>
<i>How many free space is left on the medium?</i>
<ul>
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=3.html" class="active">The medium has more then 20% free space left.</a></li>
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=4.html" class="active">The medium is full or nearly full (less then 20% free)</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>More information on keeping error correction data</h3>
dvdisaster helps protecting your media from data loss by
forehanded<sup>*)</sup> creation of error correction data.
Error correction data must be treated like normal backup data, e.g.
you need to keep it available during the whole lifetime of the
respective medium.<p>
The easiest way is storing the error correction data on the medium
you want to protect. But this is only possible if the medium has not yet
been written: To employ this method you need to create an ISO image first,
then augment this image with error correction data, and finally write
the augmented image to the medium.<p>
If the medium has already been written, or insufficient space is left for
augmenting the image, you still can create error correction data in form
of a free-standing error correction file.
This file must then be stored somewhere else, e.g. you need to take additional
provisions to <a href="howtos24.html">archive</a> your error
correction files.<p>
More information about the pro and con of these methods
can be found in the <a href="qa33.html#table">background information</a> section.

the "Storage method" list (green marking). By picking the redundancy you will
determine the maximum error correction capability: An error correction file
with x% redundancy can correct up to x% of read errors under optimal circumstances.
Since the best case is usually not encountered you should add some safety margin
to the redundancy by picking one of the following choices (see yellow markings);
<ul>
<li>The "normal" and "high" presets provide a redundancy of 14.3% and 33.5%
respectively. These two settings are very fast in creating error correction
files due to optimized program code.</li>
<li>You can freely choose the redundancy by activating the "other" item and dragging
the slider.</li>
<li>By activating the "Use at most" button you can specify the error correction
file size in MB. dvdisaster will choose a suitable redundancy so that the
error correction file will be close to but not larger than the specified size.
</li>
</ul>
The redundancy will also determine the size of the error correction file;
using x% redundancy will create an error correction file of about x% the size
of the image. Using redundancies lower than the "normal" setting (14.3%) is not
recommended as the error correction might be overloaded too quickly.

<b>"Error correction" tab.</b> First choose "Error correction file (RS01)" in
the "Storage method" list (green marking). By picking the redundancy you will
determine the maximum error correction capability: An error correction file
with x% redundancy can correct up to x% of read errors under optimal circumstances.
Since the best case is usually not encountered you should add some safety margin
to the redundancy by picking one of the following choices (see yellow markings);
<ul>
<li>The "normal" and "high" presets provide a redundancy of 14.3% and 33.5%
respectively. These two settings are very fast in creating error correction
files due to optimized program code.</li>
<li>You can freely choose the redundancy by activating the "other" item and dragging
the slider.</li>
<li>By activating the "Use at most" button you can specify the error correction
file size in MB. dvdisaster will choose a suitable redundancy so that the
error correction file will be close to but not larger than the specified size.
</li>
</ul>
The redundancy will also determine the size of the error correction file;
using x% redundancy will create an error correction file of about x% the size
of the image. Using redundancies lower than the "normal" setting (14.3%) is not
recommended as the error correction might be overloaded too quickly.

<b>"Error correction" tab.</b> First choose "Error correction file (RS01)" in
the "Storage method" list (green marking). By picking the redundancy you will
determine the maximum error correction capability: An error correction file
with x% redundancy can correct up to x% of read errors under optimal circumstances.
Since the best case is usually not encountered you should add some safety margin
to the redundancy by picking one of the following choices (see yellow markings);
<ul>
<li>The "normal" and "high" presets provide a redundancy of 14.3% and 33.5%
respectively. These two settings are very fast in creating error correction
files due to optimized program code.</li>
<li>You can freely choose the redundancy by activating the "other" item and dragging
the slider.</li>
<li>By activating the "Use at most" button you can specify the error correction
file size in MB. dvdisaster will choose a suitable redundancy so that the
error correction file will be close to but not larger than the specified size.
</li>
</ul>
The redundancy will also determine the size of the error correction file;
using x% redundancy will create an error correction file of about x% the size
of the image. Using redundancies lower than the "normal" setting (14.3%) is not
recommended as the error correction might be overloaded too quickly.

<h3 class="top">Tips for archival of error correction files</h3>
CD/DVD/BD are currently among the most cost-effective exchangeable
mass storage media. Therefore you are probably considering them
for storing error correction files.<p>
Nothing is wrong with doing so, but be aware that your data and protective
error correction files are kept on media with equal reliability.
When you encounter read errors on a data medium
it is likely that the medium containing the respective error correction files
has also gone defective. After all both media have been written at the same time,
and they have the same aging characteristics.
<p>
<table width="100%"><tr><td class="vsep"></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>This might come at a surprise, but it can not be guaranteed that an
error correction file remains usable when it is stored on a defective medium -
here is a <a href="qa32.html#file">explanation of the technical background</a>.
</td></tr></table><p>
Therefore it is important to protect error correction files just as if
they were normal data. To be more specific,
the medium containing error correction files must be protected with
error correction data as well. Here are two ways of doing this:
<ol>
<li>Storing error correction files on separate media:<p>
Use additional media just for keeping the error correction files.
If you use no more than 80% per medium for error correction files
it can
be <a href="howtos30.html">augmented with error correction data</a>.
This allows you to recover the medium if you run into problems
reading the error correction files at a later time.<p></li>
<li>Storing error correction files on the next medium in sequence:<p>
Maybe you are using media for an incremental backup strategy. In that
case you could collect files until the first medium can be filled.
Write that medium as usual and create an error correction file for it.
Include that error correction file into the backup set which will go
onto the second medium. When the second medium has been written, write
the error correction file for it onto the third medium and so on.
This way all media in the chain are protected with error correction
files (with the ecc file for the last medium residing on hard disk until
another medium is written).<p>
Of course Murphys Law may strike and result in all media of the chain
becoming defective. In that case you need to recover all media, starting
with the most recent one ;-)

<h3 class="top">Decision help</h3>
Error correction data can be either created in form of a separate error
correction file or it can be placed directly onto the medium.
Click on the answers to the following questions to find out which
method is most appropriate for you.<p>
<i>Do you need error correction data for a medium which already exists?</i>
<ul>
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=1.html" class="active">Yes, the medium has already been written.</a></li>
<li><a href="howtos21_answer=2.html" class="active">No, but I am planning to write the medium now.</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>More information on keeping error correction data</h3>
dvdisaster helps protecting your media from data loss by
forehanded<sup>*)</sup> creation of error correction data.
Error correction data must be treated like normal backup data, e.g.
you need to keep it available during the whole lifetime of the
respective medium.<p>
The easiest way is storing the error correction data on the medium
you want to protect. But this is only possible if the medium has not yet
been written: To employ this method you need to create an ISO image first,
then augment this image with error correction data, and finally write
the augmented image to the medium.<p>
If the medium has already been written, or insufficient space is left for
augmenting the image, you still can create error correction data in form
of a free-standing error correction file.
This file must then be stored somewhere else, e.g. you need to take additional
provisions to <a href="howtos24.html">archive</a> your error
correction files.<p>
More information about the pro and con of these methods
can be found in the <a href="qa33.html#table">background information</a> section.

dvdisaster will then choose the smallest possible medium type which can
be used for storing the image. The remaining free space on the medium
will be used for error correction data and the image will be prepared
accordingly.

<b>Detailed example: Creating an ISO image on hard disk</b>.
Since there are many different media writing programs available we
are demonstrating the required steps by using
the popular GNU/Linux software <i>K3b</i> as an example.
If you are using a different software you should be able to figure
out the required actions from the descriptions below.
<p>
<hr>
<?php begin_screen_shot("Start new project","make-iso1.png"); ?>
<b>Begin a new project.</b>
First open your media writing application. Many programs expect you to
start a new project. Within the project you will then make
the selections for the new medium. <p>
Using K3b: <i>Begin a new project by clicking into the highlighted field
("New Data CD project") in the main window.</i>
<?php end_screen_shot(); ?>
<hr>
<?php begin_screen_shot("File selection","make-iso2.png"); ?>
<b>Select the files to be written on the medium.</b>
Typically there is a file selection dialog from which you can select files
or drag them into the project.<p>
Using K3b: <i>Choose the required files in the upper half of the window.
In the example the files <i>backup.tar.gz</i>,
<i>win.zip</i> and <i>work.tar.gz</i> have been selected for writing onto CD.
The currently selected files are shown in the lower window half.</i><p>
<b>Important:</b> Do not completely fill the medium. Make sure to keep
at least 20% of the medium space for the error correction data.<p>
Using K3b: <i> The currently used medium space is shown in the green bar
at the bottom of the window (558,9 MB).</i>
<?php end_screen_shot(); ?>
<hr>
<?php begin_screen_shot("Configuring the writing software","make-iso2.png"); ?>
<b>Configuring the writing software.</b> The software will let you
choose the writing target before the actual writing process is invoked.
Do <b>not</b> select the CD/DVD/BD writing drive here, but configure
the creation of an ISO/UDF image on hard disk as described below.<p>
<b>Hint:</b> Remove all media from the drives before proceeding to make sure
that you do not inadvertently start the writing process.<p>
Using K3b: <i>Open the writing dialog tab by clicking on the "Burn" button
near to the left edge of the window.</i>
<?php end_screen_shot(); ?>
<?php begin_screen_shot("Selecting image creation","make-iso3.png"); ?>
<b>Selecting image writing.</b> Most writing programs will simply let
you click an option for creating the ISO image on hard disk.
If your program seems to be missing this option you might have to select
an "image recorder" instead of the actual CD burner.<p>
Using K3b: <i>Select the "Writing" tab".
Activate the "Only create image" option (marked in green).</i>
<?php end_screen_shot(); ?>
<?php begin_screen_shot("Image file selection","make-iso4.png"); ?>
<b>Select image file and type.</b>
Select the target directory, name and type for the image file.
Use image files of type ".iso" or ".udf" only! Other image formats like
".nrg" are not supported by dvdisaster; processing such image files with
dvdisaster will render them unusable without further notice or error
messages.<p>
Using K3b: <i>Choose the "Image" tab.
Enter the target directory for the file
(the example file "medium.iso" will be put into the sub
directory "/var/tmp/cg"). K3b will always create .iso images so there

dvdisaster is specialized in working with error correction data and reading
of defective media. Creating ISO or UDF images and writing them to a medium
is a totally different business, and also bears high complexity.
We do not want to re-invent medium writing in dvdisaster. Instead we
continue using the CD/DVD/BD writing software which you have got when
purchasing your drive.<p>

dvdisaster is specialized in working with error correction data and reading
of defective media. Creating ISO or UDF images and writing them to a medium
is a totally different business, and also bears high complexity.
We do not want to re-invent medium writing in dvdisaster. Instead we
continue using the CD/DVD/BD writing software which you have got when
purchasing your drive.<p>

dvdisaster is specialized in working with error correction data and reading
of defective media. Creating ISO or UDF images and writing them to a medium
is a totally different business, and also bears high complexity.
We do not want to re-invent medium writing in dvdisaster. Instead we
continue using the CD/DVD/BD writing software which you have got when
purchasing your drive.<p>

dvdisaster is specialized in working with error correction data and reading
of defective media. Creating ISO or UDF images and writing them to a medium
is a totally different business, and also bears high complexity.
We do not want to re-invent medium writing in dvdisaster. Instead we
continue using the CD/DVD/BD writing software which you have got when
purchasing your drive.<p>

<b>Detailed example: Creating an ISO image on hard disk</b>.
Since there are many different media writing programs available we
are demonstrating the required steps by using

out the required actions from the descriptions below.

<b>Begin a new project.</b>
First open your media writing application. Many programs expect you to

<i>win.zip</i> and <i>work.tar.gz</i> have been selected for writing onto CD.
The currently selected files are shown in the lower window half.</i><p>
<b>Important:</b> Do not completely fill the medium. Make sure to keep
at least 20% of the medium space for the error correction data.<p>
