Creating error correction data as a separate file |
Overview
Task | An error correction file is created for a CD/DVD/BD medium.
| Note: This page describes how error correction data is created and placed into a separate file. There is also a method for placing the error correction data directly onto the medium. Would you like help on deciding between these two methods?
Required:
| A good, error free*) medium,
| or
| an already existing and complete*) ISO image of the medium (e.g. the image used for writing the medium).
What to do:
| 1. Configure basic settings 2. Create the error correction file 3. Archive the error correction file
Configuring basic settings...
*)Error correction data must be created before any data loss occurs: It is not possible to create error correction files from an already defective medium.
