After recording on a DVD recorder last week, I came downstairs to the recorder only to find that the disc had been ejected, indicating an error. Since the recorder couldn't read the disc, I installed IsoBuster and was able to create a .tao file and read the contents of the image, but IsoBuster won't let me extract the actual video without paying. Is there a free solution to this? I tried DVD Decrypter, but that didn't do anything.

I haven't seen any free software for this. Maybe the trial for cdroller will help but I doubt that it let you rip the entire disc.

If I shell out the money for IsoBuster, is there any guarantee that it will work given that it already can view the files on the DVD/image?

There are no guarantees in life. Probably it will work. But give you a gurantee? Nope. Can't do that. There's always the possibility of failure.

A clever person might instead just search various BitTorrent networks for whatever you recorded and can't live without and get it that way.

I've extracted video using unregistered "free" version of IsoBuster without it asking me to pay. http://forum.videohelp.com/topic349749.html#1839247

I tried it on various files in the file structure, but it won't work for me.

Have you tried getting ISOBuster to convert the .tao to a .bin/.cue so you can burn to another disc ?

Don't know if the unregistered version supports this or not

im having a similar issue, i recorded some videos to my panasonic dvd-r es10, at around track 34 it messed up rendering the disc unreadable in all drives bar the es-10, now this has stopped reading it. the disc was never closed. i have tried isobuster and all i seem to get s 132 iso files, that are unreadable and un extractable. due to there being no file structure. ??????

there are some precious memories tangled in those 132 iso files and as i now no longer have the origional tapes, magnetically wiped, i need to be able to recover these.

pls help.

I have a DMR-ES10 as well. I found a method that works for DVD-R. This is what I did:

To recover data
1. Open ISOBuster (free)
2. Select DVD drive (If you can see "Track 01" in the left hand pane, it can recover at least some of your data)
3. Open Options menu
4. Select "Image File"
4. Select "ISO/BIN/TAO" Tab
5. Uncheck both boxes
6. Close dialog window
7. Right click on "Track 01" in left-hand pane
8. Select "Extract Track 01"
9. Select "Extract User Data (*.tao, *.iso, *.wav)"
10. Choose where you want to save the data. (It will copy everything it can find as one big .tao file)

After using ISOBuster (free) to create a .tao file , I demux audio and video as follows using VOBEdit:

1. Run VOBEdit
2. Click the "Open" button at the bottom of the main VobEdit window.
3. Select "All Files (*.*)" from the "Files of Type" drop-down menu in the dialog window
4. Select the .tao file and click the "Open" button in the dialog window
5. Click the "Demux" button at the bottom of the main program window.
6. Select "MPEG Stream" in the Demux area of the Dialog window
7. Click the "OK" button
8. Click the "Demux" button at the bottom of the main program window.
9. Select audio stream type for your recorder in the Demux area of the Dialog window
10. Click the "OK" button

You can edit and author the video and audio you demultiplexed if your editing/authoring package accepts it. This would be helpful to separate the whole into the individual programs that were recorded. If it only accepts mpg files
use ImagoMPEG-Muxer to create one from the demultiplexed audio and video. You could also use IFOEdit or muxman to author a menuless DVD that contains all the recordings lumped together in one title.

Good luck! ...and welcome new member! smile.gif
