Recovering a bad DVD-R

hobo28

This is really the last time I use a DVDR to store home movies! They just seem to deteriorate quickly over time.

I bought some TDK's, burned my home movies and put them in a CD sleeve in my cupboard. Couple of months later, my PC can't read some of the sectors. No scratches or anything.

Does anyone know any tools I can use to try and salvage the files on the DVD and any tools which I can use to repair the AVI's which of course will be corrupted now!

frestuffwooo

try isobuster which will exrtact the avis (hopefully) or try the disk doctor machine, you can buy - may help?

As already sugested, ISOBuster will extract the data from the disk itself. You will need to open the problem files then use the RightClick and choose extract data. As for the 'corruption' of the files. You will need a program called 'divfix' http://divfix.maxeline.com/divfix.html and have it 'rebuild index' or correct any errors it finds.
