Questions and Answers
Background information
|  | ### Advantages of using dvdisaster: Protects against unintentional medium damage (within certain limits). Read error tests run faster than PI/PO scans; up to 16x speed depending on the DVD drive. Cost-effective: Media must be replaced with a new copy only when they are really defective. ### Limitations of using dvdisaster: Error correction data must be created before the medium fails, preferably at the same time the medium is written. Error correction data requires additional storage space either on the protected medium or by using additional media. Using the standard settings the additional storage space amounts to 15% of the original data size (approx. 700MB for a full 4.7GB DVD). no guaranteed protection against data loss.
