<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 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>
|

<b>Error correction data</b>
|

is the key feature of dvdisaster. This symbol shows whether error correction
|
|
data is required.
