The current version of dvdisaster contains screen texts in the following languages:<p>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr><td> </td><td>Czech</td><td>--</td><td>upto version 0.66</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td></td><td>English</td><td>--</td><td>complete</td></tr>

|
|
</table><p>
|
|
|
|
Translators for other languages are welcome!<p>
|
|
|
|
dvdisaster will automatically obtain language settings from the operating system.
|
|
If the local language is not yet supported, english text will be used.
|
|
A different language can be selected using environment variables.<p>
|
|
|
|
Example for the bash shell and german language:
|
|
|
|
<pre>export LANG=de_DE</pre>
|
|
|
|
If special characters like german umlauts are not displayed properly,
|
|
try the following:<p>
|
|
|
|
<tt>export OUTPUT_CHARSET=iso-8859-1</tt> (X11, XTerm)

<b><a name="media">2.2 Which media types are supported?</a></b><p>
|
|
|
|
dvdisaster supports (re-)writeable CD, DVD and BD media. <br>
|
|
Media containing multiple sessions or copy protections can <i>not</i> be used.<p>
|
|
|
|
Usable media by type:<p>
|
|
|
|
<b>CD-R, CD-RW</b><p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>only Data CD are supported.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>DVD-R, DVD+R</b><p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>No further limitations are known.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL (two layers)</b>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The drive must be able to <a href="qa20.html#dvdrom">identify the medium type</a>.
|
|
Typically this is only the case for drives which can also write two layered media.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>DVD-RW, DVD+RW</b><p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Some drives report wrong <a href="qa20.html#rw">image sizes</a>.<br>
|
|
Remedy: Determine the image size from the ISO/UDF file system or the ECC/RS02 data.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>DVD-RAM</b><p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Usable only when written with ISO/UDF images like DVD-R/-RW;</li>
|
|
<li>Not supported when used as removeable medium / for packet writing.</li>
|
|
<li>Similar issues with <a href="qa20.html#rw">image size</a>
|
|
recognition as noted above.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>BD-R, BD-RW</b><p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>No limitations are known so far, but very few results
|
|
on the two-layered type (the 50GB variety) have been reported yet.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<b>Not usable types</b> (image can not be extracted):<p>
|
|
BD-ROM (pressed BDs), DVD-ROM (pressed DVDs), CD-Audio and CD-Video.

|
<b><a name="filesystem">2.3 Which file systems are supported?</a></b><p>
|
|
|
|
dvdisaster works exclusively on the image level
|
|
which is accessed sector-wise.
|
|
That means it does not matter with which file system the medium has been formatted.<p>
|
|
|
|
Since dvdisaster neither knows nor uses the file system structure,
|
|
it can not repair logical errors at the file system level.
|
|
It can not recover lost or deleted files.
