+<h3>The dvdisaster project:</h3>
+
+CD, DVD and BD media keep their data only for a finite time (typically for many years).
+After that time, data loss develops slowly with read errors 
+growing from the outer media region towards the inside.<p>
+
+<b>Archival with data loss protection</b><p>
+
+dvdisaster stores data on CD/DVD/BD (<a href="qa10.php#media">supported media</a>)
+in a way that it is fully recoverable even after some read errors have developed. 
+This enables you to rescue the complete data to a new medium.<p>
+
+Data loss is prevented by 
+using error correcting codes.
+Error correction data is either added to the medium or kept in separate
+error correction files. dvdisaster works at 
+the image level so that the recovery 
+does not depend on the file system of the medium.
+The maximum error correction capacity is user-selectable.<p>
+
+<b>Common misunderstandings about dvdisaster:</b>
+
+<ul>
+<li>dvdisaster can not make defective media readable again.
+Contents of a defective medium can <i>not</i> be recovered without the
+error correction data.<p></li> 
+<li><img src="images/exclude_from_search_terms.png" align="middle"><br>
+Such functions are outside the scope of dvdisaster's internal design and goals.</li>
+</ul>
