Many of us distrust the LTH type BD discs.

You can try ISOBuster to recover the video, but there are no guarantees that it will work.

sorry once nothing can read it nothing can recover it. lth was a bad idea to begin with, it used recycled cd/dvd making machines, spun on organic dye, and recycled the spun off dye. there are many reports of them failing over time.

the only thing you can do is keep trying different computer blu-ray drives to see if one can still read anything off the disc.

Thanks i will try my various players now, if LTH type is not reliable then which one is best? i will copy all discs from lth to the one u will describe

normal bd-r are fine. memorex, philips, optical quantum, normal HTL verbatim.

I also have Verbatim 25GB and 50 GB Inkjet printable Discs Spindle, there is nothing mention like LTH on it, are these reliable?

trying isobuster, after running the software its showing me two tracks of the disc, Track 01 22.56 GB and Track 02 with some 64 KB, before Track 01 there is a red cross, and the ISOBUSTER is asking me to find the missing files, i have started to find that lets see what will be the result,

Verbatim's standard BD-R media is more reliable and normally has a longer life than its LTH media, although I'm not sure how long that is on average. Panasonic is supposed to make the best BD-R media for archival use, but it is hard to find outside of Japan and expensive.
