Problem Reading Udf Disc can someone help?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,One year ago...i burned an UDF disc. I actually don't know what's the difference between UDF and ISO, but oke, i did it because i wanted to burn big files and an ISO disc won't accept that. But now i'm trying to read it (it's an backup DVD) and it goes wrong. In my first drive it says it's damaged or written in a style not readable for windows. In my second drive he reads the disc, but when i double click on it to open it, everything is empty.Does someone know what i did wrong and how I can read this disc again.Thanks in advance,Moody

Firstly, try using CDRoller or UDF-Reader to see if your data is retrivable.

If you can't then I guess the disc simply contains bad data. It means either the format you set for the CD-writing software wrongly, or an accident extra bit that may be written into the disc causing all the data in it to corrupt. This can occur when the cd burner drive is shakened while burning, or you have excessive loads of software running on the computer that takes up memory such that it affects the data transfer from your computer harddisk to the buffer then to the writable disc. This however seldom happen in todays drives as they are mostly shockproof now. I had afew times experienced such afew years ago when CDR drives were still new.

 

Regarding about the format in ISO/UDF, I've found some articles that might be useful for your reference..

If you still cannot retrieve your data, just simply format the disc and rewrite the data again. Unfortunately for you if you only have this copy of data.

Problem Reading Udf Disc

 

Easiest solution is to use linux instead of windows. I rescued an old home made movie for a friend, but the transcode amounted to 2.4 gb due to having chosen a high quality output. I burned a udf disc to give my friend the data and his brand new vista system won't read anything. The data is all there and we put it from my linux box onto his external hard drive.

 

No need to lose data simply because you feel married to windows OS
