The maximum error correction capacity is + user-selectable. + + * dvdisaster operates at the image level and does not depend on the file + system. + +If you create the error correction data in time and keep it at a safe place, +you have a good chance of recovering the medium contents from typical read +errors and to transfer your complete data onto a new medium. + +WWW: http://www.dvdisaster.com/ |
