Please make sure that dvdisaster has been configured as described in the
<a href="howtos22.php">basic settings</a> section as some selections might
create sub optimal error correction data.
<p>

The next steps depend on the source for the error correction data. Select between
these two ways:<p>

This may take a while depending on the image size and the selected redundancy.
For example creating an error correction file using the "normal" redundancy setting
will take about 5 minutes for a 4GB sized DVD image and using standard hardware.
