Repair DVD, DVD and scratched Unfinalized DVD collection of tips and tricks.
by: Lance Carr
Simple and (I hope!) Free treat procedures finalized, unsuccessfully, DVD, DVD damaged or DVDs that have not been properly burned by a video camera recorder or burner and some corrupt data .
It is a good idea for you to first consider other possible causes of what appears to be a DVD errors, as a hard surface dirty, a dirty lens in the DVD player or other software and equipment related problems. Before embarking on one of the following cases, you must eliminate all possible causes have problems with a DVD. Make sure your DVD burner has the latest firmware going on the website of manufacturers. Check if the media (make and model) is compatible with your CD / DVD player. Once you are sure you have finalized, without success, a DVD or a DVD of corruption, you can start.
Scratch DVD
A simple visual inspection of the surface of the disc will tell you immediately if your first problem is physical damage on the disc. If you can see a scratch or scratches on the surface this May must be addressed first. I say "May" because I personally use DVDFab to check to see if the hard copy before I embark on another course of action. DVDFab can read in a large number of errors surface because of its superior algorithms so I always take the lazy road and see if I can just make a new copy. Now, if you can go online and buy expensive DVD scratch repair kit. Or you could do like me and go to your local hardware store or even your own garage! All you will need is a bottle of any neutral color (bright) products polishing car. Turtlewax happens to be the one I use. Take a very soft cloth (not paper towel), apply a little polish the surface of the disc and gently (remember, this is not a car!) Scrub hard. Use blows right of the disk center and the outer edge and continue to do so until you can see zero or disappear or reduce significantly. Then using the same movement and new tissue buff the disk to its original shine. Now, try DVDFab. If you are still unsuccessful repeat the process until you can be sure, again by visual inspection that the problem now is not coming from a damaged disk surface.
DVD data repair or recovery
The software you can use for this are DVDFab, Nero 8 (trial) and Isobuster. In the case of Isobuster you can try characteristics without beginning, but failing that the full version must be purchased. A search on Yahoo or Google, you will find the sites.
Put the problem disc into the DVD player to your computer later:
1. DVDFab. Try using DVDFab first, as he did the best algorithms for reading anything on a DVD, including how it fits with the DVD player, honestly sometimes I think that it would be a bagel if you put it in there!
Select "DVD to DVD." DVDFab will now try to read the contents of the disk and, if she can write the contents of a folder on your hard drive. It's as simple as that. It is either going to work or not! If they do so then the copy you have on your hard disk will be fully repaired and you can burn a new copy.
Otherwise:
2. Isobuster. Using the free functions try to make a disk image file and burn another DVD. Isobuster has three other ways of dealing with data corruption. It can replace the corrupt with nothing, with false data or with a series of zeros. It will give you the choice and select them simply in order to try until each one. Isobuster not create the disk image file if it knows that it will succeed. If Isobuster created the file (note where it was going to put the first!) You re-name the extension. Iso. Use the disk image file to burn a new DVD disc. At this point, if you now have a new disc, you should check that the new carefully. There is always the possibility that Isobuster just made a perfect copy of your bad! So, you now have a brand new bad!
Failing: You will have to pay for the full version of Isobuster ONLY buy it if you got this far. If Isobuster free could not even read the disc as not to disturb. > From this point forward the best you can hope is the extraction of MPEG video files or data files on the disk. You will lose menus and video May you lose a part of the video or data.
A. Beginning Isobuster then load the disc.
B. When Isobuster detected files on the disk run the program find files and folders "under the" File "menu.
C. You will now have an entrance on the left column of "files and files found by their signature."
D. Select, then "File", "files found through their signature" then "Extract the files found through their signature." Choose a location and let it run.
Now you have all the files where you chose to go. Those with the extension. VOB are MPEG files from your hard wrapped in the VOB container. They can then be imported into a video editing program using the "Import DVD / VR" or function can be read by most software DVD burning.
Unfinalized discs.
If possible try to get the device used to create the disc to be finalized. If this is not possible or device fails to complete successfully the disk you use the May Isobuster routine above.
If you were left with another disc perfectly well, but unfinalized, proceed as follows. This requires Nero 8 (trial version). Go to the site of Nero, download and install Nero 8.
Yes, it is high ... sorry!
Place the disc into the computer unfinalized DVD tray. Open Nero StartSmart 8. Click on "create and modify" at the top of the screen. Click on "author, edit and capture video." NeroVision 5 start. Click on the disk tools menu and click on "finalize the disc." In the option box that appears choose "no menus" and let it run. We hope you have now finalised a disc which is readable.
Hope this helps!
