IsoBuster is a CD/DVD and (Disk)Image File data recovery tool, that can read and extract files, tracks and sessions from CD-i, VCD, SVCD, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, DVD, DVCD and others. It also supports the following image file formats: *.DAO (Duplicator), *.TAO (Duplicator), *.ISO (Nero, BlindRead, Creator), *.BIN (CDRWin), *.IMG (CloneCD), *.CIF (Creator), *.FCD (Uncompressed), *.NRG (Nero), *.GCD (Prassi), *.P01 (Toast), *.C2D (WinOnCD), *.CUE (CDRWin), *.CIF (DiscJuggler), *.CD (CD-i OptImage) and *.GI (Prassi PrimoDVD). The program uses several retry-mechanisms to aid you in getting the data, even if Windows is not able to do so. Additional features include Mpg (*.dat) Extraction, support for file system properties, CDText support and much more.

Changes:
- Changed the icons inside the executable. A new website, new icons, a new look!
- The installation installs both a HTML Help file (*.chm) and an old style *.hlp file.
- This version launches the HTML Help by default if Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher is installed.
- The old style help is launched when Internet Explorer 4.0 is not yet installed (e.g. Windows 95 clean)
- Support for Multi-File Images (e.g. *.pdi images or *.iso or *.bin images)
(e.g. ImageFile.pdi, ImageFile.pdi01, ImageFile.pdi02, ImageFile.pdi03, ImageFile.pdi04)

Improvements:
- Improvement which works around a buggy DataFab card reader driver under Win2K and WinXP. The card reader driver bug could cause a system shut-down when IsoBuster was started up.
- Some drives respond with "No Media Present" on commands they do not support. This caused IsoBuster to assume there was no media or that the media was blank. A work-around has been implemented.

Bug Fixes:
- The track size on DVD-R media (if only one track in one session containing less than 127,5 MB) could sometimes be wrong (depending on the device it was tested with)
- Versions that come with HTML Help sometimes close with an exception error. This is now fixed.
- A very rare occurance (only seen once but repeatable on that CD) of an exception error due to a corrupted UDF structure with unexpected value.

Main site is not revamped yet, and the download site is cramped.

Yet another update to beta6 (same links as above).

IsoBuster 1.5 Beta 6
====================

Changes :
---------

- Changed the icons inside the executable. A new website, new icons, a new look !
- The installation installs both a HTML Help file (*.chm) and an old style *.hlp file.
- This version launches the HTML Help by default if Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher is installed.
- The old style help is launched when Internet Explorer 4.0 is not yet installed
(e.g. Windows 95 clean)
- Support for Multi-File Images (e.g. *.pdi images or *.iso or *.bin images)
(e.g.
ImageFile.pdi
ImageFile.pdi01
ImageFile.pdi02
ImageFile.pdi03
ImageFile.pdi04 )
- Splitting up image files during creation to user-specified size (e.g. DVD images into 4 files of 1 GB each)
- Included Macedonian language support in the 'all languages' download

Improvements :
--------------

- Improvement which works around a buggy DataFab card reader driver under Win2K and WinXP.
The card reader driver bug could cause a system shut-down when IsoBuster was started up.
- Some drives respond with "No Media Present" on commands they do not support.
This caused IsoBuster to assume there was no media or that the media was blank.
A work-around has been implemented.
- Improvements in the SPTI vs Aspi Communication layer selection.
Sometimes Aspi couldn't be selected on NT, 2K and XP systems if SPTI couldn't find drives at startup.
SPTI is now also selectable in case you have no administrator rights on NT, 2K and XP.
In case you have no administrator rights, the help file explains what your administrator must select to grant you low level drive access.

Bug Fixes :
-----------

- Time stamp on files sometimes wrong
- The track size on DVD-R media (if only one track in one session containing less than 127,5 MB) could sometimes be wrong
(depending on the device it was tested with)
- Versions that come with HTML Help sometimes close with an exception error. This is now fixed.
- A very rare occurance (only seen once but repeatable on that CD) of an exception error due to a corrupted UDF structure with unexpected value.
- Flying folders (copy animation) was not always animated anymore (compiler issue)
- Sometimes, during image file creation, when there were errors on the CD,
and the image was spanning multiple tracks, and the option 'Always apply Selection' was checked,
the selected way to process the error was not properly being applied in the following track (IF that track had errors).

Winiso is shareware indeed, it does ovelap with ISObuster but still there are things one of them can do and the other cannot... IMO having both is sensible.
And ISOBuster is semi-freeware: some advanced options are available only when you register the program.
