DVD Data Recovery on Linux

After reaching B'glore... it is hectic...

But found a way to have successful data recovery on linux..

Tools : ddrescue, dares-qt

fireup ddrescue

ddrescue -b 2048 -v -r 0 -n /dev/dvd /path/to/image.img logfile

This will save the image of dvd as image.img
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note:
Disabled splitting error areas and retries for maximum speed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Then start dares-qt

dares-qt -i /path/to/image.img -s /path/to/save/

It will scan the image.img file for files and will display the files to be saved...

Save one by one... !!!!
That is all....
