Introduction. 3 Introduction. CDRoller is a powerful, easy-to-use and low-cost toolset for CD/DVD data recovery. Powerful: CDRoller finds, retrieves and copies the lost data from CDs and DVDs that seem to be inaccessible for Windows standard tools. While this does not include the disks that are physically damaged, the program will: · Effectively retrieve the data off the discs created by "drag and drop" CD/DVD writing software, such as well-known Roxio (Adaptec) and Ahead Nero software packages, CeQuadrat's PacketCD, Instant Write, B's CLiP and others. · Recover CD and DVD data created by standalone devices that record directly onto disks, including: Sony digital cameras, Hitachi, Panasonic, Canon and Sony DVD camcorders, personal DVD recorders, etc. · Includes a built-in Video Splitter. Splits the recovered VOB or VRO files into a several clips (scenes), automatically converting a "raw" DVD-video into MPEG files without loss of quality. Specially tested on the discs, created by Hitachi DVD camcorders. · Retrieve back up files from the discs recorded in the several stages (multisession discs). · Include a built-in UDF Reader. There is no need to install a third-party software, for example Roxio (Adaptec) UDF Reader driver. · Find and retrieve the lost files on UDF discs, including: accidently deleted files, files on quickformatted disc, files on incorrectly closed disc, etc. · Identifies the lost files on ISO/Joliet discs with the damaged file system (volume descriptors, path tables and directories), using the raw data only. · Simply retrieve data from scratched, damaged or defective discs. · Extract tracks from audio CDs · Test CD/DVD readability Easy-to-use: All features are integrated into a common and easy-to-use intuitive shell. Low-cost: A single user's license costs only 29.50 USD. Toolset: The program contains a set of instruments to work with different formats of CDs (DVDs) and file systems. CD/DVD Data Recovery: Unfortunately, there is a lot of factors that can cause you to lose access to the data on your disks. System or power failures, hardware problems, media and CD/DVD mastering software problems... Often, when a disc becomes inaccessible more than a single factor has contributed to the problem. Fortunately, many of such problems that prevent "normal" access to the data can be bypassed when using CDRoller. © 2003 - 2007 Digital Atlantic Corp. 4 CDRoller - User's Manual 1.
