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:

Icon: Good medium (without read errors) A good, error free*) medium,
or
Icon: Complete image 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.
