Degraded CD Data Recovery Program?
on: April 16, 2006, 03:38:37 pm
I've got some movies on old CD-R's that have become unreadable by Windows. However, when I try to play the movie file with Media Player Classic, it will pause and grind away, trying and retrying to read a sector, and eventually it will succeed and continue playing. Ergo, Windows gives up to easily.

So, does anyone know of a decent (free) program that will do it's darndest to recover data off a CD?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I saw a link to ISOBuster elsewhere on the web that says that the full version can do that. Don't know if the freeware version can though.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

The freeware version does (or at least it used to).  Very handy.
As far as I understand, the full version is more for advanced DVD recovery and stuff.

Very cool, thanks! I ended up warezing (can that be verbed?) something called BadCopy Pro before you posted that... it worked nicely, but I'd rather stay legit and use the free stuff. ;)
