Recover lost files on previous session when burning a DVD using Roxio
I am asking this question for a friend that lives in Spain. He used Roxio
(Titanium I think) to burn a second session to a DVD and is now unable to retrieve the data that he burnt on the first session. After some questioning, I rather think that he has burnt the second session without having imported the first one, so when he looks at the disc, all he can see is the data from the second session. As I use Nero, I am not exactly sure what Roxio can or cannot do with regard recovering the data from the first session. Unfortunately, he has also finalised the disc on the second burn, so my initial suggestion to try writing a third session and import the first one (after extracting the second session that he CAN read) cannot be used. Does any kind soul know how the data from the first session can be retrieved? Preferably without expensive third party software. Failing that, is there any software that can do what he wants TIA Martin |

Failing that, is there any software that can do what he wants In my limited experience, multisession on ISO 9660 DVD-ROM is unsupported, poorly supported or inconsistent in both writers and software. I've not tried UDF for it, but in general recommend using CD for multisession (where it is well defined and well implemented) and reserving ISO 9660 DVD-ROM for single session (the only option offered by Nero). It's not clear whether ISOBuster will be able to penetrate the TOC if the standard was not properly implemented, but it's worth a try at the price (free). Depending on his OS, he may want to avoid installing an ASPI layer; if he does use ASPI, make sure that it's complete and consistent. (The Roxio software does not use ASPI.)

Thanks very much for the information guys. Unfortunately, I forgot to
mention one rather important detail.. His OS is not Windows, but for a MAC. By the look of it, Isobuster will only work with the PC. Having said that, I think I will get it for myself though. Does anyone know of software that will do it for a MAC? TIA Martin "Mike Richter" wrote in message ... Martin C wrote: I am asking this question for a friend that lives in Spain.
