How can I retrieve the dvd data from an unfinalised disc ??

[speople]

Hi

Hopefully somebody will be able to help.

Whilst using a DVD writable disc in a Panasonic DMR ES-10 dvd rcorder (not a computer DVD recoreder, but one that is used for TV etc) the recoreder now refuses to load the disc, saying that it is not the correct format.

Using iso buster shows that the last sector that was recorded on, contains an error, which is probably why the dvd recorder doesn't want to read the disc properly now.

Trouble is, the disc contains some important stuff that I would like to save.

Is there any way to finalise the disc, the dvd recorder wont finalise it because it says it cant ?

Or is there any way to extract the DVD video data that is on it 3.5 GB worth, so that the data can then be converted or whatever and put on another disc ??

Dunno if it works with dvd/cd's, but EasyRecovery works marvels with HDD's.

Other suggestion, can't you dump an iso of the DVD with isobuster, fix the iso file, and burn it again on another dvd ?
Better, mount the iso with deamontools and see if you can read it in a software DVD player, or even copy/paste the data on your HDD.

I also suggest you try dumping with several modes (binary image, content image, etc.), since that last defective sector needs to be ignored or rebuilt (not copied as-is).
