Released 21 May 2003.
Changes include some minor bug fixes and proper handling of Plextor SecuRec discs.
It was not possible to extract audio in CDDA form because of a error in the Sector Copy dialog. This has been corrected.
Some minor adjustments in the handling of HFS and HFS+ discs has been made to support a wider range of block sizes.
Features:
Supports DVD media recovery.
Support all forms of DVD media.
In order to read DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, a DVD device that supports this media format is necessary.
Sector examination at a low level.
Displays sectors in hexadecimal and character. This is similar to Norton Disk Doctor, providing the same capabilties for CD and DVD media.
Disc Memory and Checkpoint.
This feature eliminates lengthy re-discovery of the disc’s contents.
Allows for interruption of a disc examination and then resumption at a later time. This is useful as some disc examinations can be lengthy, often taking more than 12 hours.
Intensive UDF File Examination.
Locates files that have been dropped from the directory structure. This is a common occurrence for UDF format discs using current writing software.
Examination is done automatically when errors are detected in the directory structure that may have caused files to be lost.
Can also be manually requested when needed to recover files that have been deleted.
Expanded Retry Capabilities.
Allows the user to balance examination speed with thoroughness.
Permits users to select the level of automatic retries performed whenever a data error is encountered. This can make otherwise unreadable data sectors readable again.

Unique analysis capabilities allows the “readability” of a disc to be measured.
Allows decisions to be made about the disc quality without the expense of a standalone disc-test system.
