DVD Data Recovery

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc) is a popular optical disc storage media format. It is mostly used for storing movies and data which includes music, photos and other things. It has the same dimension as a CD but its biggest advantage is that it can store more than 6 times data compared to a CD. The best part is that a DVD offers much better sound and picture quality than a CD.

All of us use computers for a lot of purposes. One of the best ways to store data is to store it on DVDs. It is a very convenient and reliable storage format and we can save a lot of data in few DVDs. It is in fact the best method to store data intensive movies and image files. In a DVD+RW disc data can be erased and re-written multiple times. It is a great convenience for people who copy a lot of data and do not want to spend money every time on new hardware.

Even though DVDs have become an important part of our lives, we need to handle them carefully to optimize and prolong their life. The most common problems related to DVDs are hardware malfunction, improper usage and data corruption. It is very important to handle DVDs properly and prevent them from scratches, cracks and any damage. If your DVDs are scratched you will face any of these when you put the DVD in the computer:

• The disc label does not appear in Windows Explorer.
• The contents of the disc do not appear in Windows Explorer.
• When you insert the disc in the drive or when your computer tries to read the disc, the computer stops responding.
• You cannot eject the disc from the drive.
• The computer takes a long time to read the disc.

In that case your computer can not read them and you can try to clean the disc by using a disc cleaning kit, or by gently wiping the silver side of the disc with a soft, lint-free cotton cloth. Do not use a paper cloth to clean the disc because that can scratch the disc. If you still face problems you will need data recovery software to recover data from your DVDs.
