+dvdisaster provides a margin of safety against data loss on CD and DVD
+media caused by aging or scratches.
+
+dvdisaster creates error correction data to compensate read errors which
+are not correctable in the CD/DVD drive.
+
+dvdisaster tries to read as much data as possible from defective media.
+Afterwards unreadable sectors are recovered using the previously created
+error correction data. The maximum error correction capacity is
+user-selectable. dvdisaster operates at the image level and does not
+depend on the file system.
+
+If you create the error correction data in time and keep it at a safe place,
+you have a good chance of recovering the medium contents from typical read
+errors and to transfer your complete data onto a new medium.
