    Hi all.

    I have a Phillips DVD recorder to record from my TV. I have erased a
    DVD+RW that has a program (the second from last in a series about
    ancient Egypt) my wife wants to see. I AM IN TROUBLE! :)

    Nothing has been written over it since, so it should be recoverable by
    rewriting the FAT table, or whatever a DVD uses in similar fashion.
    What program would you use to restore it to it's former glory? I'm
    trying iso-buster at the moment, but although I can 'extract' info
    from the DVD I can't see an option to fix the original.

    Can anyone help, please?

    'extract the info' and write it to another disc?

    1) www.google.com
    2) enter "dvd rw recover data". That gets you to:
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=dvd+rw+recover+data&btnG=Google+S
    earch&meta=
    3) click first link
    4) www.cdrecovery.net

    "The Ultimate CD and DVD data recovery tool !
    Rescue lost files from a bad or trashed CD or DVD !"

    I'm guessing that might be worth a look. Without a trashed DVD I can't
    test it for you too though.

    OK, OK. Another 'you're too lazy to look for yourself!' post, eh?

    I have tried a few different 'data recovery' programs but the ones I
    have used concentrated on the hard drives, not on media. But instead
    of spending ages trying different programs out, whats wrong with
    asking for reccomendations? We do it regulasrly on this group with...
    insurance companies, bread makers, news readers, tyres... Thats why I
    thought someone may have experienced a good program for recovering
    from media.

    Not quite. Well, ok - it was a slight dig. Have you tried any of the
    programs, and did you find one that worked?
