It creates error correction codes to compensate read errors which are not correctable in the CD/DVD drive. It also reads as much data as possible from defective media; typically, it handles up to 10% unreadable sectors (relative to the overall medium capacity) using its error correction code. Hardware requirements for running 'dvdisaster' include:<br /> &lt;br /&gt;<br /> -x86 compatible hardware in 32bit mode<br /> -an up-to-date CD or DVD drive with ATAPI or SCSI interface<br /> -at least a P4 at 2Ghz or comparable processor<br /> -file system without the 2GB size limit for handling DVD images<br /> |User level=none<br /> |Status=Live<br /> |Component programs=<br /> |Homepage URL=http://www.dvdisaster.com<br /> |VCS checkout command=<br /> |Computer languages=C<br /> |Documentation note=<br /> |Paid support=<br /> |IRC help=<br /> |IRC general=<br /> |IRC development=<br /> |Related projects=ddrescue,Mondo_Rescue<br /> |Keywords=recovery,physical,damage,scratch,aging,unreadable,read error,sector,correction code<br /> |Is GNU=n<br /> |Last review by=Janet Casey<br /> |Last review date=2005-11-29<br /> |Submitted by=Database conversion<br /> |Submitted date=2011-04-01<br /> |Version identifier=0.64<br /> |Version date=2005-10-01<br /> |Version status=beta<br /> |Version download=http://download.berlios.de/dvdisaster/dvdisaster-0.64.2.tar.bz2<br /> |License verified date=2004-10-01<br /> |Version comment=0.64 beta released 2005-10-01<br /> }}<br /> {{Person<br /> |Role=Maintainer<br /> |Real name=Carsten Gnörlich<br /> |Email=cgnoerlich@users.berlios.de<br /> |Resource URL=<br /> }}<br /> {{Resource<br /> |Resource audience=Bug Tracking,Developer,Support<br /> |Resource kind=E-mail<br /> |Resource URL=mailto:cgnoerlich@users.berlios.de<br /> }}<br /> {{Software category<br /> |Interface=command-line<br /> |System-administration=backup<br /> |Use=system-administration<br /> }}<br /> {{Project license<br /> |License=GPLv2orlater<br /> |License verified by=Janet Casey<br /> |License verified date=2004-10-01<br /> }}<br /> {{Software prerequisite<br /> |Prerequisite kind=Required to use<br /> |Prerequisite description=Linux kernel 2.6.7 or later<br /> }}</div>
