Files from a DVD-R
I do not know if this is the right place to ask this question so I
apologize if I am wrong. Here is my problem. I have several videos on a couple dvd-r disks that I burnt there a while ago and now I am wanting to put them on my hard drive. I am unable to get the files from the dvd-r. The drive keeps spinning and it does not put the file on my hard drive. It puts some of the files but not the others. So I cleaned the drive and then I cleaned the disk, thinking there must be some problem with it. However this did not work. Is there any way to get my video files off this disk?? I am worried since I backed up many files on dvd-r disks in the past. Is it possible this could happen to most of my archives??? Thanks |

There was a problem a few years back with corrosion appearing on discs that were a couple of years old. Had a few here. It appeared as small dark spots. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally. |

Thanks CDC Check - will work to restore what it can (it could run all night and all of the day on a bad disc). Sometimes a different brand reader in my experience picks up discs another might not. Presuming old firmware and old media issues. |

Take a look at PhotoRec. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec I've used ot on CDs, but I'm not entirely sure about DVDs. (It can recover from scratched DVDs, so maybe yes.) It's slow but thorough. An associated program is TestDisk - good for HD problems. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk Tutorials: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step hth Ron Moore |
