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.

Try DVDFab HD Decrypter.

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
