software to repair scratched VCDs!!!!!!!! :)

[half-eaten]

check out this new program! if you have VCD(s) with minor or moderate errors due to scratches, run them through this program. it does a pretty good job as long as there aren't any major gouges.

Could the data recovery algorithm be used for data discs too?

[half-eaten]

yes, i actually wrote this software. it's still in beta. if you notice the greyed out "standard video cd directory structure" checkbox... in the next release (maybe tonight) i'll enable the box. unchecking it will make the program copy every file and directory on the disc. i'll make sure to put that in!

Or you could just spend $30 on ISO BUSTER PRO and it'll do the same thing. Hard extraction of the data.

i believe dvdinfo pro also can do this (not sure) , its not free though ..

One time I copy a VCD and the CDR had a crack in it you could pull it apart. I used cloneCD it copied it. I also use a Dusc Dr to clean up bad Disk for cleaning

Other then the simple run time error when its unable to access the
drive (ie no disc) it seemed to work pretty well as far I could tell.

I'm a programmer as well, so this is not ment as a flame, keep up the
good work =)
