Just wanted to know if there's any possibility of reading stuff on a coaster?

I've got a burnt DVD (Ritek G05) that's not readable on a Pioneer DVR-106, DVR-111 and a Sony DVD-RW, so I'm assuming that it's just not readable.

But the thing is, surely the information is on there, just that at some point through the burning process, some bit(s) went wrong, am I right?

I want to know is there any way of making a drive just read what is on the disc, regardless of whether the drive actually understands it or not. If so, will this retrive most of the stuff that's on the disc. Are there other methods?

Thanks.

I know of no way you can get the data from that disc. That is why they are called "Coasters". If anyone else knows a way. Please post it. Sorry.

Try isobuster. Here's a link:

Does this disc play in a standalone dvd player by chance?

You can also check and make sure your drives have up to date firmware.

Wow! Thanks for recommending Isobuster, worked like a charm.

I think that for some reason, there were 2 tracks on the disc, one of them contained stuff that wasn't readable and the other track was perfectly fine. The track with the unreadable data didn't really have anything that I remember burning though, not sure how that got there...

Glad to hear it worked out for ya!
Another good thing about isobuster is you can recovery/rip only the files you want.
