Here are three common data loss scenarios on optical media (CD’s/DVD’s/Blu-ray’s):
- The disc gets unreadable due to the physical defects such as scratches, chips, different spots on the surface.
- An error occurs during the video recording or disc finalizing process in DVD camcorders.
- Improper or incorrect operations when writing/burning data to a disc like using different burning software in the same disc burning task, accidently erasing the existing data on the disc, etc.
If your valuable data such as family videos & photos, work documents, etc. stored on CD’s/DVD’s/Blu-ray’s was lost in the three ways above, before you turn to the high-priced data recovery services I suggest you try to recover them by your own hands with the CD Recovery Toolbox which is a freeware designed for recovering data on CD’s/DVD’s/Blu-ray’s lost due to physical disc damages and incorrect disc burnings. There is no guarantee that CD Recovery Toolbox will retrieve your lost files, but you’ll never know unless you try.
