Introduction.
CDRoller is a powerful, easy-to-use and low-cost toolset for CD/DVD data recovery. Powerful: CDRoller finds, retrieves and copies the lost data from CDs and DVDs that seem to be inaccessible for Windows standard tools. While this does not include the disks that are physically damaged, the program will: Effectively retrieve the data off the discs created by "drag and drop" CD/DVD writing software, such as well-known Roxio (Adaptec) and Ahead Nero software packages, CeQuadrat's PacketCD, Instant Write, B's CLiP and others. Find, identify and retrieve the lost video off non-finalized DVDs created by a wide set of standalone devices that record directly onto discs, including Hitachi, Canon, Panasonic, Samsung and Sony DVD camcorders as well as standalone video recorders. Split the recovered VOB or VRO files into a several clips (scenes), automatically converting a "raw" DVD-video into MPEG files without loss of quality. Specially tested on the discs, created by Hitachi DVD camcorders. Make a new DVD-Video disc that can be played back in the most DVD players. Recover CD data written by Sony Mavica CD digital cameras. Burn the recovered data to CDs and DVDs. The "Burn" option is integrated into a common shell. Just write a new disc with recovered data within a couple of minutes, without leaving CDRoller! Erase CD and DVD re-writable media. Support of quick and full erase methods. Retrieve back up files from the discs recorded in the several stages (multisession discs). Include a built-in UDF Reader. There is no need to install a third-party software, for example Roxio (Adaptec) UDF Reader driver. Find and retrieve the lost files on UDF discs, including: accidently deleted files, files on quickformatted disc, files on incorrectly closed disc, etc. Examine disc sectors at low level and display the sector content in text, binary, hexadecimal or unicode mode. Recommended for engineering purposes and also for law enforcement and forensic investigators. Identify the lost files on ISO/Joliet discs with the damaged file system (volume descriptors, path tables and directories), using the raw data only. Extract ISO Image file and burn it to a new disc. Rescue the data from scratched, damaged or defective discs. Extract tracks from audio CDs Test CD/DVD readability Easy-to-use: All features are integrated into a common and easy-to-use intuitive shell. Low-cost: A single user license costs only 39 USD.

6. Recovering CD/DVD Data.
15

Overview.
The process of CD/DVD data recovery is not easy and, unfortunately, it's very hard to create a "magic" tool can retrieve all data in all cases on all discs. In this section, we will try to give you a base recommendations how to achieve a positive result quickly and with a high reliability. Also, you can always receive a technical support at support@cdroller.com , all your questions regarding the problems with CD/DVD data recovery will be responded within 2 to 24 hours. We consider the following steps can be high-lighted: 1. Disk recognition. 2. Using Session Selector to access to all sessions on multisession disk. 3. Searching the lost UDF files on CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disks 4. Applying Scan UDF Disc to search for the lost objects on all types of UDF disks. 5. Recovering CD/DVD files. Note. The 2nd...4th steps may be skipped. This depends on the disk type determined at the 1st step. Separately, we high-light the following problems: Recovering DVD video and photos Recovering files from UDF discs in ISO mode Retrieving the photos from mini discs created by Sony Mavica CD cameras Identifying Raw ISO Data Burning recovered data
6.1. Disk recognition.

Open CDRoller and insert the disk into the drive. The program must analyse your CD/DVD immediately after insertion. After the disk has been verified, the Main Window displayes it similar to the one shown here.
16
Look at the File System column. This may give us an important info about the type of the disk. In the picture shown above, this is a disk in which UDF file system has been placed onto a single session. We will name the disk has one or more such sessions as "UDF disk ". If all sessions are displayed with "ISO/Joliet" in the File System column, we will name such disk as "ISO disk", i.e the disk with ISO 9660 file system. At first, click the Recover All button in the Toolbar in order to retrieve all files and folders off the disc or selected (current) session. Also, check out a readability of the root directory (folder), just left double click on the disk name, or use the Open command from the Side Bar. Please answer to the following questions: Is the root folder readable or not? Can i browse the disk contents? The answers may be applicable at the next stages of cd/dvd data recovery. Troubleshootings. 1. If the program can not recognize your disk automatically, click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar, or insert the disk first and then open CDRoller. Also, to read the unclosed disks, i.e the disks left "as-is" by CD/DVD mastering program we recommend you to use the following method: Uncheck Detect disc insertion by Windows under the Browser tab in the Preferences dialog and wait for the end of disk reading processed by another CD related program. Select the Refresh command from the File menu, or click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. 2. To read UDF disks we recommend you to use CD-RW (DVD-) drives - the disks are recorded with so-called packet-written technology and old CD-ROM / DVD-ROM drives may not access to their data. 3. Some drives may not support our special methods. These devices may hang the program when analyzing the disk. In this case, uncheck Always use a drive capabilities under the Browser tab in the Preferences dialog, insert the disk and try to recognize it again. 4. If you get 'Unknown file system...' message and you're sure the files data were placed on the disc, please try to scan your disc without using the file system structures: - If your DVD has been created by DVD camcorder or standalone recorder, please use the Recover DVD Video option. - If you know ISO/Joliet file system was actually placed on the disc, try the Identify Raw ISO Data command. - In case of UDF disc, if you know a name of CD/DVD mastering program (or standalone device), which actually created your disc, try the forced scan, selecting the software or device profile in the forced scan list under the UDF Reader tab in the Preferences dialog.
6.2. Using Session Selector.

We often receive the emails similar to the following one: "I have copied back up files to a CDR in several stages, but the last time I backed up, I was only able to see the most recent batch of files. The others seem to have disappeared... I presume they are still there on the CD but "hidden" in some way - may be a different volume ?" Fortunately, CDRoller offers the tool named as "Session Selector" to access to the data placed into different sessions (volumes) on your CD-R/DVD-R. These disks are known as multisession CD/DVDs. By default, CDRoller displayes contents of the most recent session.
17
To select a new session, just click a new item with 'Disc Session' type in the main program window. Then, try to apply the Recover All command, or simply Open a new session. Probably, you will detect a new files that have been "hidden" before. Note. Recover All retrieves all files from the selected (current) session only. Hint. Sessions Selector may be also extremely useful if the root folder of the last session seems to be unreadable at the "Disk recognition" stage, but some important files may be located (duplicated) in the previous session(s).
6.3. Searching the lost UDF files on CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disks.

A correct reading of UDF files and folders on write-once media (CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R) is provided by Virtual Allocation Table (VAT). Each time, when you add, change or delete files on CD-R/DVDR/DVD+R media, UDF mastering program creates a new VAT that reflects a new state of your disk. A new VAT is being placed on the disk physically, when you eject the disk from CD/DVD drive. VAT's location is crucial for the disks created with the help of drag & drop software, such as well-known Roxio (Adaptec) DirectCD and Drag-To-Disc. If the VAT can not be found or is corrupted, files will be missing. If your CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R is recognized as UDF one, but when you try to open the disk, you get the error message about unreadable root folder - this means the last VAT is not found. Also, if you have accidently deleted some files, a new VAT does not point to them. To recover the deleted files, you should use the previous VATs. There are two main ways to find the lost files: 1. Using Scan UDF Disc from the Tools menu. 2. Searching an old VATs in order to recover the files from the previous backups.
18
The first method is described in the section 6.4. To search all VATs, please do the following: Click the Preferences button in the Tool Bar or select the same option from the View menu. Check on the 'Search of all VATs' box on the UDF Reader tab in the Preferences dialog. Click the OK button to close the Preferences. Click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. After a while the program will display a progress dialog similar to the one shown here:
when the process is completed, you should see the confirmation message:
Click the OK button. Now, an each backup is shown as a separate "session" in the program window. When you will see a new disk image (icon) in the program window, please use built-in Session Selector (see the section 6.2) for access to all backups. Note. Please do not search all VATs on the following disks: - CD-RW/DVD-RW/DVD+RW, - DVD-R and DVD+R created by DVD personal recorder (standalone device) and DVD camcorder. These disks do not contain VAT at all.
6.4. Applying Scan UDF Disc.

In addition to another methods of CD/DVD data recovery, Scan UDF Disc gives you a good chance to retrieve several types of files, including: Files are not visible in Windows Explorer - the writing process was interrupted by a system or power failure before UDF folders were placed on the disc, but most or all of the files were written to the disk. This means that the files may be on the CD (DVD), but Windows Explorer cannot see them. Lost files - complete files that do not have a file name associated with them. They can also be files that you accidently deleted from the CD (DVD). Files on the disks quick-formatted by Roxio DirectCD and Nero InCD. Files located in unreadable (damaged) UDF folders, including the root one. Files located on Sony Mavica CD finalized with failure on the camera. To start Scan UDF Disc select the same option in the Tools menu or in the Side Bar. The program displays a progress dialog similar to the one shown here.
19
After CD/DVD scan is completed or canceled, found files and/or folders are displayed in the Lost objects detected on disc... window similar to the one shown here
You can rename the selected folders, open them with the help of Open command, or left double clicking on their names. If the lost folders have been found, try to open them first. This may give you a chance to recover the files with original names that are located in the found folders. When applying the Recover All / Recover Selected commands, the program automatically identifies the types of files, initially shown as FileXXXX ones, or the files having an intermediate extensions, such as .ole2 for MS Office ones. If you know an original type, you can rename the selected files manually, with the help of Rename command, or/and use New Extension option to speed up the re-naming process in case of the large list. Hints and Tips. If you're going to retrieve UDF files from the same disc at the different times, you can save the table of contents (names,locations, attributes) of the found files into separate file by Save Table Of Contents command from the File menu. Further, check on the Load Table Of Contents from file box on the UDF Reader tab in the Preferences dialog. Next time, when you will run Scan UDF Disc the program will display the list of the found objects shortly, without scanning the disc, and you can continue to
20
retrieve the files data. Trouble Shooting. If the program can not recognize UDF disk, but you are certainly sure the disk contains the files, we recommend you to try the forced scan of the disk. This may be useful if the disk was incorrectly finalized, and the system data are not accessible. For example, this problem often occures on Sony Mavica CD when the finalization step failed on the camera. To start the forced scan, you should initially know what CD/DVD mastering program (or device) formatted your disk. For example: Roxio (Adaptec) DirectCD, Nero InCD, PacketCD or Sony Mavica CD digital camera. Further, you should assign an appropriate profile in the Forced scan list under the UDF Reader tab in the Preferences dialog and click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. Note. Obviously, there is no 100% guarantee to recover all displayed files completely, please keep in mind, that some files may be erased or partially re-written by a new ones. The program can restore those FILES DATA, which else it is possible to rescue.
6.5. Recovering files.

To recover the found files and folders, you can use Recover All and Recover Selected options, or simply drag and drop selected items to the destination you have chosen on your HDD. When selecting Recover All / Recover Selected options, the program displays a Data Recovery dialog similar to the one shown here.
Key Features. Saves recovered data into intermediate file. Further, a recovery of the selected file can be continued with the help of Resume Recovery option in the program window. Displays the current results (recovery details). Saves recovery results (report) into HTML file. Changes a recovery settings, without leaving the process. Skips file during the recovery process, if you decide a file isn't so important.
6.6. Recovering DVD video and photos.

6.6.1. Hardware requirements. We strongly recommend to use DVD-RW drives ("dvd writers"). DVD-ROM drives ("dvd readers") often can not access to the "troubled" or non-finalized DVD discs. To read DVD-RAM discs, you should use the computer DVD-RAM drive instead of DVD-RW or DVD-ROM device. Or, you can use so-called multi-read DVD-RW drive with capabilities to read
21
DVD-RAMs. If you need our advice regarding a vendor or/and model of a new computer DVD drive, just contact us at support@cdroller.com . 6.6.2. Searching and recovering the lost data. CDRoller Wizard interface is designed for novice users and allows to recover DVD videos and photos off the discs, created by standalone devices (camcorders, personal DVD recorders), using the simple "step by step" procedure. To display the Wizard dialog, just select the Recover DVD Video option from the File Menu. Every Wizard dialog contains a brief instructions, describing a possible user actions in order to achieve the best results in DVD data recovery. At the 1st step, please select your computer DVD drive.
At the 2nd step, just insert your DVD and click the Next button.
22
At the 3rd step, please select DVD video recorder (camcorder or standalone dvd recorder) that placed a video or/and photos on your disc. You can use Any recorder setting and try to scan each of displayed tracks, starting on the track with the highest length .
At the 4th step, just click the Next button if you scan the selected area for the first time.
At the next step, you should see a dialog similar to the one shown here.
23
Finally, just recover the found video (VOB files). You can also try to scan another track, shown at the 3rd step.
6.6.3 Using UDF Reader. Can be recommended in addition to the "Recover DVD Video" option. For example, in order to find .m2ts files (UDF files) on the non-finalized discs created by AVCHD camcorders. Select the Preferences option from the View menu. Uncheck the Detect disc insertion by Windows and Always use a drive capabilities boxes under the Browser tab in the Preferences dialog before you will insert the troubled disc into the drive. Insert the "troubled" disc into the drive. Click the Preferences option from the View menu again. Select an appropriate option (that depends on model of your device and type of the "troubled" disc) in the Forced Scan list under the UDF Reader tab and click the OK button.
24
The program will scan your disc, without using the system data. Further, please follow our Basic Recommendations from built-in adviser. Also, please feel free to contact us at support@cdroller.com if you have any questions regarding dvd video recovery. 6.6.4 Viewing VOB files. To view the recovered VOB files, we recommend PowerDVD from CyberLink at http://www.gocyberlink.com/. 6.6.5 Converting VOBs into MPEGs. Our Split video option automatically converts a "raw" DVD-video data (VOB or VRO files) into MPEG files without loss of quality. In contrast to VOB file, MPEG file can be simply viewed with the help of any DVD-compatible software (player). To activate the Split video window, just click Split Video button in the Side Bar (a left panel of 'Step 6...' dialog mentioned above) and assign the recovered file name in the next dialog. Or, just click Split Video button in the Main ToolBar. 6.6.6. Making a new DVD with recovered video. Just click Burn button in the Main ToolBar, select Make a new DVD with recovered video and click the Next button.
25
Further, using a simple "step by step" procedure, you select DVD burner (computer DVD drive), add a video (MPEG files) into your compilation and, finally, burn a new DVD-video disc that can be played back in the most DVD players. In addition, you can load the recovered MPEG or VOB files into your DVD-authoring software, for example: Windows Vista DVD Maker, Sonic MyDVD, Nero Vision, etc. Note. To replicate successfully finalized DVD-video disc, you can extract ISO Image file first, and then burn it to a new (blank) DVD.
6.7. Recovering files from UDF discs in ISO mode.

Sometimes, CD/DVD mastering software places ISO/Joliet file system on the UDF disc. If the disc contains both UDF and ISO 9660 file systems it shall be known as a UDF Bridge disc. This UDF Bridge disc will allow playing DVD-ROM media in computers which may only support ISO 9660. An example of UDF Bridge disc may be DVD-Video disc created for DVD players. By default, CDRoller reads the contents of UDF partition, because this is an universal way to find and recover the lost data. However, UDF directories can become corrupted due to errors of CD/DVD mastering software, bad quality of DVD media and some hardware problems. A solution can be to try to read the disc in ISO mode: Click the Preferences button in the Tool Bar and check the Read only ISO 9660 tracks box under the Browser tab in the Preferences dialog. Click the OK button to close the Preferences. click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. If your disc has ISO/Joliet partition, you should see ISO/Joliet in the File System column instead of UDF. Note. If the disc contains a several sessions, please use the built-in Session Selector.
6.8. Retrieving the photos from mini discs created by Sony Mavica CD cameras.
6.8.1. General requirements and settings. CD-RW or DVD-RW drives (cd or dvd "writers") are more preferable in comparing with CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drives (cd or dvd "readers"). You should uncheck the Detect disc insertion by Windows box under the Browser tab in the
26
Preferences dialog before you will insert the troubled disc into the drive. 6.8.2. Reading mini disc that was finalized with failure on the camera. Symptom. The disc finalization was accidently interrupted, for example, due to the power failure. Troubleshooting . Remove any disks from your CD/DVD drive(s). Run CDRoller. Click the Preferences button in the Tool Bar or select the same option from the View menu. Make sure that the Detect disc insertion by Windows is UNCHECKED on the Browser tab in the Preferences dialog. Click the OK button to close the Preferences. Insert the troubled disc. Click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. Does the program recognize your disc? If not, please go to the step 6.8.3 If you can see the disc icon in the program window, try to open the disc by left-double clicking its name. Do you get the message about unreadable root folder? If yes, try to run Scan UDF Disc from the Tools menu and go to the step 6.8.4 if the program has found the lost files. 6.8.3. Reading non-finalized (open) disc. Symptom. Disc was not finalized, you lost an access to the data due to Disk Error. You was able to view the photos earlier (prior to the disk error). Troubleshooting . Remove any disks from your CD/DVD drive(s). Run CDRoller. Click the Preferences button in the Tool Bar or select the same option from the View menu. Make sure that the Detect disc insertion by Windows box is UNCHECKED on the Browser tab in the Preferences dialog. Click the OK button to close the Preferences. Insert the troubled disc. Click the Preferences again. Select Sony Mavica (O) in the Forced scan list under the UDF reader tab. Click the OK button and close the Preferences again. Click the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. If dialog with Step 1. Specify your scan area caption appears, try to find and recover the lost photos step-by-step, using Wizard interface. Otherwise, the program tries to find the lost files, scanning "UDF partition". Are any files found? If yes, go to the step 6.8.4. Note. If some pictures look like corrupted, please try to repeat the "forced scan" with the help of Sony Mavica CD. Also, this option is recommended to find mavica videos (MPEG files). 6.8.4. Recovering the found (indexed) files displayed in the "Lost objects detected..." window. Apply Recover All / Recover selected to retrieve the found files (photos) automatically. Select file(s) and use Rename or/and New Extension commands to re-name the indexed files to .jpg ones, and then copy them to HDD with the help of Recover selected or drag&drop operations. 6.8.5. Viewing found files. To view the found photos (JPEG files), you can use View Image option. Just select a JPEG file and click the View Image in the Side Bar (left panel of the "Lost objects detected..." window). 6.8.6. Burning the recovered files. To place the recovered photos onto new disc, click Burn button, select Write files and folders onto data disc in the Start Window and click the Next button.
27
Further, using a simple "step by step" procedure, you can select CD/DVD burner (computer drive), add the recovered files (photos) into your compilation and, finally, burn a new disc.
6.9. Identifying Raw ISO Data

In addition to another methods of CD/DVD data recovery, Raw ISO Data Identifier gives you a good chance to find and retrieve the lost files from the troubled discs, created by Ahead Nero Burning ROM, Adaptec (Roxio) Easy CD/DVD Creator, Sonic software and other programs, including: - CDs and DVDs with currently unreadable system area (so-called Primary and Secondary ISO Volume Descriptors). When trying to recognize these discs the first time, CDRoller generates "Unknown file system..." error message. - Discs with the damaged and corrupted folders. - UDF Discs having ISO-alike files locations. Note. Please use this option only if another methods of CD/DVD data recovery have not given an effect before. To start Raw ISO Data Identifier, please select the Identify Raw ISO Data option from the Tools menu, or Side Bar. The program scans the disc and tries to find and identify the files on the track of "raw" CD/DVD sectors, without using the ISO/Joliet File System structures. After a process is completed or canceled, a found files are displayed in the Lost objects detected ... window similar to the one shown here
28
First, try to Recover All or Selected files. These commands also allow to complete an identification of files that have not been preliminary identified on the scan stage, or have an intermediate extensions. For example, .ole2 for MS Office files. If you know an actual file name, you can Rename the selected file manually, or/and use New Extension command to speed the re-naming process in case of the large list of one-type files.
6.10. Burning recovered data.

CDRoller Wizard interface allows to burn the recovered data, using a simple "step by step" procedure. To display the Wizard dialog, just click the Burn button in the Main ToolBar or select the same option from File Menu. Here is an example how to use a Wizard interface in order to place a recovered files and folders onto a new DVD+RW disc. First, you should select your task in the Start Window and click the Next button:
29
Now, please select your burner (computer CD or DVD drive) and click the Next button. The displayed drive features can help you to determine whether the selected device supports the type of CD or DVD media you want to burn. For example, do not try to burn DVD discs, using CD-RW drive.
Just insert a new (blank) disc and click the Next button. For multisession disc, you can select a prior session to be included into a current compilation.
30
Now, please add files or/and folders into your current compilation and click the Next button. You can use Add button, or just drag files and folders from the Windows Explorer. To edit a current compilation, please use Delete and Rename options for the selected item(s).
At this step, you can edit disc (session) name, assign writing speed and choose - whether you will add a new files on the same disc later or not. To start a burn process, just click the Burn! button.
31
Finally, you should see "Burning disc ..." dialog similar to the one shown here.
Notes. 1. We do not recommend to try to place a new files onto your "troubled" discs. Also, please do not try to close these discs, hoping to make them readable for Windows. The most safe way is to recover your files from the "troubled" disc to Hard Disk Drive (HDD) first, and then place (write) them onto a new blank disc. 2. To erase your re-writable disc, just click the Erase button in the Main ToolBar or use the same option from File Menu.
32
Overview.
In addition to CD/DVD data recovery the program offers set of features for: Testing Disc Extracting Audio Tracks Extracting ISO Image File Creating Short CD/DVD Image Examining disc sectors at low level
All mentioned features are integrated into a common intuitive shell of CDRoller.
7.1. Testing disc.

With the help of Disc Test, you can check if a CD or DVD contains errors. It can be useful to: - Check the quality of the CD/DVD media. - If you have a CD/DVD recorder, you can check whether the data (files and folders) on the CD/DVDR(W) is written correctly. - Get advanced information from the Disc Volume. The test can be used for both CD-ROM and CD-Audio. It also examines Multisession and Mixed mode discs. The list of tests includes ISO 9660 File System test, Disc Surface test and Digital Audio Extraction (DAE) Quality test. Since the program automatically determines the disc type, it always knows what the test from the list can be applied to the CD/DVD inserted into the drive. By Disc Test options, you can manually include (exclude) an appropriate test to (from) the list, set scan ratio while testing CD/DVD surface and also select checks of all sessions or only current session on multisession disc. We recommend you to run the disc test periodically on the discs with ISO/Joliet file systems, in order to make sure a valuable files were really ("physically") placed on the disc, particularly in the following situations: - if your DVD was created by Nero Burning ROM. - if your CD with photos was burnt from memory cards. To start the disc test, please select the Test Disc option in the Tools menu. The program displays a progress dialog similar to the one shown here.
After all tests have completed, the program generates the report(s). An example of ISO/Joliet File System report is shown here.
33
Note. The Disc Test is not available for the UDF disks.
7.2. Extracting Audio Tracks.

To extract ("rip") audio track(s): 1. Insert CD audio into the drive. 2. After disk recognition left double click on CD name in the Main Window. The program displays the Main Window similar to the one shown here.
34
3. Select the track(s). 4. Click the Recover Selected command in the Side Bar, or simply drag and drop selected track(s) to the destination on HDD. 5. The program displays a progress dialog similar to the one shown here.
To extract audio tracks the program utilize the method known as Digital Audio Extraction (DAE). Key features: Applies a set of different extraction methods with Dynamic, Fixed synchronization with "jitter" correction, re-read block of sectors in case of error or/and lost of synchronization. Autodetects an appropriate read function for CD drive. Supports WAV, MP3, MP2, OGG or RAW formats of output file. Supports Windows ACM (Windows Audio Compression Manager). Supports Lame and Blade MP3 encoders (DLLs) and Ogg Vorbis, high-quality and patent-free audio codec. Extracts audio tracks "on-the-fly", directly to the output file without creating an intermediate WAV file.
35
Hint. To change default settings (select another encoder, extraction method, etc.) use Audio Extraction tab in the Preferences dialog.
7.3. Extracting ISO Image File.

IS0 Image is a single large file that is a representation of the whole set of data and programs as it will appear on a CD or DVD. A disc image refers to both content and logical format. It can be useful to: Replicate your disc further, using Burn option or third-party CD/DVD mastering software. For example, if you wish to replicate your FINALIZED DVD-video disc, created by standalone DVD device (camcorder, personal DVD recorder). Write the disc image to hard drive once, then record it several times to different CDs (DVDs) to save processing time. Create a disc image file to be written to CD (DVD) on another system (UNIX, Macintosh). Back up CD/DVD data. To extract ISO Image File: 1. Insert the disc into the drive. 2. After disk recognition select Tools | Extract to ISO Image File option. 3. The program displays a progress dialog similar to the one shown here.
Key Features. Saves recovered data into intermediate file. Further, you can continue to Extract ISO Image File with the help of Resume Recovery option in the program window. Displays the current results (recovery details). Saves recovery results (report) into HTML file. Changes a recovery settings, without leaving the process. Notes. 1. ISO image file can be created only if the disk with a single data track originally was created with ISO-9660 or Joliet file system. 2. To extract ISO Image File from UDF disc, you should recognize the disc in ISO mode first. 3. To make a new disc, just click Burn button, select Burn a new disc from ISO Image file in the Start Window and click the Next button.
36
Further, using a simple "step by step" procedure, you can select CD/DVD burner (computer drive), add the recovered ISO Image File into your compilation and, finally, burn a new disc.
7.4. Creating Short CD/DVD Image.

The Short CD/DVD Image is a file that contains ALL DIRECTORY STRUCTURE (directory tree) of the disk, including complete folders and files names with attributes. This enables you to browse through the folders, search for the files or/and folders which you need (with the help of Tools | Find option), detect the prorerties of them, using the Properties command, but in order to retrieve any file, you should insert a "real" CD or DVD. When you insert a disc that has the image that has been created before, CDRoller determines this image as a "mirror" of the real CD(DVD), displays it with an appropriate icon in the Main window and further, utilizes image to access to any folder quickly without reading of inserted CD(DVD). This is an extremely useful if your "real" CD (DVD) has become a disc with unreadable folder(s) and, therefore you can not access to its files.
37
To create Short CD/DVD Image: 1. Insert CD or DVD into the drive. 2. Select Tools | Short CD/DVD Image option. You can create the image with CD (DVD) name (label) or manually assign a new name for each inserted disk. In case of multisession disc, you can create CD/DVD image for each session. All CD/DVD images automatically are placed into a separate directory assigned under the CD/DVD Library tab in the Preferences dialog.
7.5. Examining disc sectors at low level.

Key features. Intensive disc scan for particular data. For example, it searches for an email address on a disc regardless of what file the mail may be in. To activate the search window, just click the Examine Sectors button in Other Tools section of Side Bar, or select the same command in the Tools menu.
38
You can stop a search in any time, view intermediate results and continue the process where you left it before. Sector View allows you to display the disc sectors in the Text, Binary, Hexadecimal/Text or Unicode mode. There is no requirement that the sectors belong to a file - any sector on the disc can be displayed. Just click View button in the Examine Disc Sectors dialog shown above. There is no limitation to view the sector data only in a single window - multiple Sector View dialogs can be open at the same time.
To move between sectors you can either use the arrows to the right of the sector number, or you can enter a sector number and press the Enter key, or just paste a new sector number from the clipboard.
39
You can simply adjust the font size under the View tab in order to get more comfortable view. Copy and Print options are also available under the Export tab. Direct examination of the content of selected file from the main window. To view file content, just select a file in the main window and click the Examine Sectors button in Other Tools section of Side Bar. Or, right click the file name and select Examine Sectors from the pop-up menu.
You can find a particular data (text), using a set of options under the Search tab. The information can be also displayed in the Text, Binary, Hexadecimal/Text or Unicode mode with font size adjustment. The data pane can be also resized and scrolled.

A.1. Main Window.
The main program window consists of List Window, Status Bar at the bottom, Side Bar at the left, List of available folders, Tool Bar and Main Menu on the top.
The List Window displays the disc contents as main folder containing drives, discs, sub-folders, files or audio tracks. A graphic symbol, or icon associates with every folder, file or audio track. CDRoller assigns a proprietary icon to each type of CD/DVD media: CDROM, CD-R, CD-RW have the icon as , all types of DVD media icon, CD-DA (Audio CD) is displayed with icon, symbol as
associates with Mixed CD (data plus audio) and empty drive (drive without any disc) has the icon as . Short CD/DVD image has appropriate icon as image that is the "mirror" of inserted disc. , and the icon as is assigned to the
To select an item in the List Window, click on its icon or name. If you want to work with multiple items in a folder, you can select (mark) each of them, using the check box near an each item. The total size of selected files is diplayed by the status bar. To select all items in the current folder, or return to the prior level in the directory structure, you may also use an options from the secondary Tool Bar. Side Bar similar to Microsoft Outlook offers an intuitive list of commands depending on your situation (disc type, file system, data recovery problems, etc.). To adjust a column's width, you may move the mouse pointer to the right border of the column heading box. The mouse pointer changes to a double-headed horizontal arrow with a vertical bar in the middle.
42
That means you move the border. Hold down the mouse bottom and drag the border left or right as needed. When the border is in its preferred location, release the mouse button. Every item displayed in the List Window has its own Pop-up menu - if you right-click on it, a menu will show up by it, displaying all the options available over the selected item. All buttons on the Toolbar and Side Bar have a hint - if you don't know what the button does, just place the mouse over it and wait for a second, and a short description will appear. CDRoller supports drag-and-drop - meaning that any file and/or folder can be copied to desired location on HDD, or any audio track can be extracted to the output file by drag-and-drop.

Hardware Access Method (default value is: CDRoller proprietary driver for Windows 9x/ME or Windows NT native access for Windows NT4/2000/XP) Detects one of two methods to access hardware. We strongly recommend you using default settings, and select ASPI mode only if you have a serious problems with base method. Note. This option sets the fundamental mode of application operating.To apply new setting you should restart the program. Date Format (default value Short Form) Sets the Date format used by the program to display the Date information. Time Format (default value Short Form) Sets the Time format used by the program to display the Time information. Treat KByte as: (default value 1024 bytes) Detects the way of 'kilobyte consideration' as 1024 bytes exactly (in 1024 bytes mode) or as 1000 bytes (in 1000 bytes mode). It may be useful for correct file (folders or audio tracks) size calculation, before these items will be sent to hard disk. Search of the lost data track (default value Checked) If Checked , the program searches the lost data track when a new disc is inserted or after Refresh command, and, if found, displays its contents in the List Window. Detect disc insertion by Windows (default value Checked) If Checked the program detects arrival or removal of the CD (DVD) using Windows "standard" tools
46
(messages). This starts disc recognition automatically, without requirement of the refresh. If the program can not recognize your disc automatically, try to uncheck this option and repeat examination of a new disc by clicking the Refresh button in the Tool Bar. Read damaged sectors "as is" (default value Unchecked) If Checked , when reading system area and folders, unreadable sectors will be accepted "as-is". This may be useful in some circumstances, but it should be understood that the content of these "accepted" sectors could be all zero or partially correct data there is no way to tell. You should use this mode only if the program can not "recognize" your damaged CD/DVD or you vitally need an access to the unreadable folder. Please keep in mind that your CD/DVD drive may not support reading of disk sector "as is" or the content of that sector may be denied by the further checks in compliance with ISO 9660 and UDF requirements. Read only ISO 9660 data tracks (default value Unchecked) If Checked, the program searches and verifies only ISO system area on data tracks after insertion of new disc. Discs with another file system, such as UDF, require additional recovery procedures that may take a some time, especially while reading multisession ones. If you are sure that your disc is actually recorded in ISO 9660 format, you should check on this option in order to accelerate the disc recognition. Obviously, to read the discs with UDF file system, this option has to be unchecked Always use a drive capabilities (default value Checked) If Checked, when reading the damaged sectors, the program will apply some low-level methods and algorithms based on the capabilities of your CD (DVD) drive. In some circumstances the drive can slow the process when meeting a bad zones (unreadable sectors). In this case we recommend you to uncheck this option. Display deleted files and folders (default value Checked) If Checked, the program displays files and folders having deleted characteristics on CD-RW/DVDRW/DVD+RW/DVD-RAM disks with UDF system. The objects are shown with special Inaccessible file icon in the List Window. You can try to recover them with the help of Scan UDF Disc command from Tools Menu. Apply MRW reader (default value Unchecked) If Checked, the program automatically recognizes CD-RW disk formatted in the "Mt.Rainier" CD-RW format (CD-MRW) placed into non-Mt.Rainier drive, and presents the data portion of the disk as a "read only" UDF format disk. We also recommend you use this to read the disk inserted into CD-MRW drive if your MRW disk was not ejected (closed by cd mastering program). For example, if the writing process was interrupted by a system or power failure. Hint. To check the drive capabilities, use Properties command applied to the "empty" drive in the List window and select Features tab in the Properties dialog. Display adviser window (default value Checked) If Checked, a separate panel ("adviser") with some recommendations and results of disc analysis will appear inside the program window.
47
A.4.2. UDF Reader
Lost objects (default value Files and folders) Determines what objects (files and/or folders ) will be looked for by Scan UDF Disc. Forced scan (default value Don't apply) If the selected setting is different from the default value, the program will force the drive to scan your CD/DVD in order to find the lost files without using the data of system area. We highly recommend you to use this only if the inserted disk has not been recognized by CDRoller before, and you are also sure the disk contains the files. This may be useful if the disk was incorrectly finalized and system area was not written properly. For example, this problem often occures on Sony Mavica CD when the finalization step failed on the camera. If you actually know the name of CD/DVD mastering program (or device) that formatted your disk, try to select an appropriate value from the list of the following profiles:

Warning . Please use the forced scan at your own risk. There is no 100% guarantee to retrieve all files
50
from all disks in all cases. Please keep in mind, that some files may be incorrectly written, erased or partially re-written by a new ones. Unpack files after forced scan (default value Unchecked) If Checked, the program will try to decode the files found by the forced scan on the disks compressed by Roxio (Adaptec) DirectCD. The found files can be recovered with the help of Recover All, Recover Selected or drag & drop commands in the "Lost objects detected..." window. Hint. AIDEX RunTime decoder (aidex.dll) must be assigned in the Path to external decoder (DLL) to unpack compressed files. Load Table Of Contents from file (default value Unchecked) If Checked, you are prompted to select a file with the table of contents of the objects found by Scan UDF Disc before, instead of new scan of your disk. Always try to identify file type (default value Checked) If Checked, the program will try to identify the types of found files at the scan stage (preliminary identification). On some discs and drives this may slow the scan process. Apply DVD Reader (default value Checked) If Checked, the program will try to recognize and verify DVD disk automatically. However, in some circumstances, for example when the disk is extremely corrupted, it is more useful to present DVD disk as a "read only" UDF format CD. If Unchecked, only CD identification methods will be applied. Search of all VATs (default value Unchecked) Virtual Allocation Table (VAT) is an important part of the UDF File System. VAT's location is crucial for CD-R/DVD-R/DVD+R disks created with the help of drag & drop software, such as well-known Roxio (Adaptec) DirectCD and Drag-To-Disc. If the VAT can not be found or is corrupted, files will be missing. If the option is Checked, the program will try to search all VATs. This may give you a chance to find and recover the files from the previous backups, including the files accidently deleted by drag & drop software. If some old VATs are found, the program displayes their files and folders in a separate sessions. Further, all sessions can be viewed by the built-in Session Selector. Always check file integrity (default value Checked) When Checked the program always test the file before decompression, using the data of file header. If an important file data seem to not be recovered, try to uncheck this option. Please keep in mind that you may get an unpredictable results, so try this only at your own risk. Always read Full TOC (default value Checked) Try to uncheck this box if CDRoller seems to hang up your system when analyzing the disc. This problem can be caused by DVD43 driver installed in your system. This driver is bundled with some DVD programs (DVD Idle Pro or DVD Region), and can prevent a normal work of CDRoller.
51
A.4.3. ISO Reader
Read Path Table (default value Big Endian (Motorola) By default, the program does use the Path Table because this is the most fast method to access the directories on your ISO 9660 CD. CDRoller uses the Big Endian addresses by default, because Windows doesn't use them, so CDRoller offers an alternative method at once, if your CD is not visible by Windows. However, for a particular disc, if the default settings doesn't work properly, you can try another settings. For example, if the Path Table seems to be invalid, you can select Don't use path table. This will force CDRoller to start from the Root directory and scan all directories on the CD. Apply forced scan if Path Table is invalid (default value Checked) If Checked, the program will automatically scan the directories in case of inaccessible Path Table. Ignore Joliet file system (use only ISO 9660) (default value Unchecked) If Checked, any Joliet directory information on the disc will be ignored and only the ISO-9660 directory will be displayed. This may be useful if the Joliet directory information is corrupted and the CD files seem to be inaccessible. With the help of ISO-9660 directories you can try to access the files data, bypassing the Joliet file system.
52
A.4.4. CD/DVD Library
Apply To CD/DVD Images, group of options : - "Open" (default value Checked); - "Send" (default value Checked); When Checked the program tries to perform appropriate command for CD(DVD) image. If there is no disk inserted into CD/DVD drive, the program prompts you to insert the disk to perform Files Open and Files Copying. File Name (default value by Volume Name) The File Name can be created either by choosing the Disk Volume Name (by Volume Name mode) or summarizing the word 'CDIM' with four random digits (Random mode) or inputting CD(DVD) Image file name manually (Manual mode). When a new disc is inserted (default value Unhecked) When Checked the program creates CD/DVD Image for a newly inserted disc. Directory for CD/DVD Images (program directory path by default) Assigns the directory on your HDD to store created CD/DVD Images. Directory for Temporary Storage (default value Windows Temporary Directory) Assigns the directory on your HDD to be used as Temporary Storage for drag-and-drop and Files Open. Warning . Please do not select "Directory for Temporary Storage" as destination folder for Recover All and Recover Selected operations. When you close CDRoller, the program automatically cleans out this temporary folder, and all recovered files and subfolders will be lost!

A.4.5. Audio Extraction
DAE Method (default value Dynamic Sync Width) By the Dynamic Sync Width method the program tries to synchronize new audio data with the previously read block of audio sectors by changing the overlap area between two consecutive read blocks. Fixed Sync Width means that a set amount of frames is used for blocks synchronization. Read error detection and lost synchronization control also occure in both methods. The audio extraction by Burst Copying method is the fastest. Burst copy doesn't use any synchronization and error recovering. Read Command (default value AUTODETECT) If AUTODETECT (recommended setting) option has been selected, the program tries itself to find an appropriate read algorithm for user's CD drive. SCSI READ CD function is the base command recommended by SCSI-3 Standard for reading audio frames. It is supported by all ATAPI drives that have DAE feature, and some SCSI devices. SCSI READ (10) function may be used for DAE on SCSI drives support SCSI-2 Standard. Note. The list of audio read commands used by program in AUTODETECT mode is not limited by two ones mentioned above. Some known read functions are absent in the selection list because a wrong chosen extraction command may cause problems on some SCSI systems. Swap Channels (default value Unchecked) When checked, the program itself will exchange left and right channels in the audio samples before writing them into output file. This may be suitable for some CD drives to exchange stereo channels while extraction. "Big Endian" (default value Unchecked) Motorola " Big Endian" mode is often used on drives from Grundig, IMS, Kodak, Ricoh and some others. WARNING . Check this option only if the extracted output file seems to consist of noise! Wave Format (default value 44,100 Hz; 16 Bit; Stereo) Indicates a brief description of audio compression format that has been selected.
54
Select Encoder (default value Internal WAV) Assigns an appropriate encoder from the list of available ones. File extension (default value .wav) Indicates the extension of output file (.wav, .mp3 or .raw). Options Activates an options dialog box to select audio compression format. High Quality (default value Unchecked) For some audio compression formats, specifying this flag might improve the audio quality or other characteristics.
A.4.6. Disc Test
File System Test group. Show the details of "import" file (default value Checked) For multisession discs only. When Checked, a report window displays some info whether a file was imported from the prior session ("came from session # ..."), or not. Include to Disc Test (default value Checked) When Checked File System Test will be included to the list of available tests. Check on the disc (default value All available sessions) If All available sessions option has been selected the program checks file systems of all sessions on multisession disc. In case of Selected session only the selected session is examined. Note. There is no difference between these two settings for single session disc. Disc Surface Test group. Scan ratio Track Bar (default position 20 to 2000 sectors ) Sets the current ratio of read sectors to total sectors in the block. For example, "20 to 2000 sectors" setting means that the program reads 20 sectors in the block of 2000 sectors and therefore, then skips
55
(2000 - 20) sectors before the next reading. This setting is used for Disc Surface Test and also for DAE Quality test. Include to Disc Test (default value Unchecked) When Checked Disc Surface Test is included to the list of available tests. For mixed CDs it means that as Disc Surface Test as DAE Quality test will be included to the list of available tests. Check on the disc (default value All available sessions) If All available sessions option has been selected the program scans disc surface on all sessions. In case of Selected session only the selected session is examined on multisession disc. Note. There is no difference between these two settings for single session disc. Audio Read Overlap (default and minimum values are 0, maximum value is 7) Sets the number of overlapping sectors for DAE Quality test. This may be useful to determine the value of overlap for so-called "jitter correction" while reading CD audio data.
