<h3>Testing compatibility between error correction files and ISO images</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<b>Motivation:</b> You want to write data to a medium and create an
|
||||
error correction file for it. In order to save time you do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>You create an ISO image using your CD/DVD/BD writing software.</li>
|
||||
<li>You write the image to a medium.</li>
|
||||
<li>You create the error correction file from the same image.</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>Possible incompatibility:</b> The writing software creates a medium
|
||||
which does not exactly match the image. This might prevent the error
|
||||
correction from recovering the medium contents when it becomes defective.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<b>How to test compatibility:</b><p>
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that some steps are only sketched out here;
|
||||
follow the links to the respective sections to find detailed instructions
|
||||
and examples.<p>

The verification may find out that the image is larger as expected.

Typically the difference is 150 or 300 sectors for CD media and

1-15 sectors for DVD/BD media. These might simply be zero padding sectors

<b>Alternative method avoiding incompatibilities:</b>

<li>First write the data to the medium.</li>

<li>Use dvdisaster to create an ISO image from the written medium.</li>

<li>Use this image to create the error correction file.</li>

This method takes more time due to the additional reading process,
