Review
This is official description applies to version 9.2
CDRoller offers all-in-one toolset for DVD Video Recovery. It finds and recovers the lost DVD movies, converts VOB or VRO data into generic MPG files and, finally, makes a new disc that can be played back in the most DVD players. It erases CD, DVD and BD re-writable media. Supports quick and full erase methods.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 8.8
CDRoller is a recovery tool for optical media like CDs and DVDs. This application will read your CDs or DVDs at the lowest levels to retrieve files that can't be retrieved within Windows. CDRoller can recover files that were burned to optical media using drag-and-drop tools like Roxio Sonic and Nero. But it works just as well for CDs burned by camcorders or other portable devices.
The application is very powerful but it manages to keep the task very simple. The first window that you see lists all the media detected in your system. By double-clicking your CD or DVD, you will see all the files that were burned onto it. You can then select individual files for recovery or you can choose to recover the whole CD or DVD.
I like the fact that CDRoller displays on-screen help on its main window. Although the texts are a bit technical, users with a little knowledge can make use of the help and the recommendations to recover lost files.
CDRoller's trial version will not actually recover any files, but it will tell you if they can be recovered. You have to purchase the full-version to save the files back to your hard disc.
From what I have read on the Internet, CDRoller is one of the most popular solutions out there for recovering files off CDs and DVDs. It is not free, but at $39, it could be considered a bargain. |
- Good help.
- Easy to use.
- Works well.

What's new in version 9.2
- Extract To ISO Image File significantly updated. Now, you can extract data into ISO Image File (*.iso file) from CD/DVD/Blu-ray discs with the different file systems (UDF, ISO/Joliet, FAT 32), multisession discs and flash memory cards.
- Fixed a bug when reading Blu-ray discs with LG BH10 drives.
- "My Documents" is now a default folder for images created by CDRoller. Including an own files to manage disc sectors (.tbl and .dat files) and also Short CD/DVD Images (.cdi files).
- Numerous bugfixes and workarounds added. What's new in version 9.1
The new version has:
* Added an ability to create and manage an own image file. Key features:
- allows to use many different drives on the different computers to read the bad disc (CD, DVD or Blu-ray one), adding the data that each new drive can read.
- skips the sectors that have been successfully read before.
- extremely increases a reading speed if you manage your disc many times.
- works with audio and mixed (data audio) CDs too.
* Added an ability to get a few copies of Recover DVD Video option, running CDRoller from the Command Line with "/rdv" and "/drive letter" parameters. For example, CDRoller.exe /rdv /d . That allows to work with a several drives simultaneously and speed up the data recovery if you have a lot of problem DVD-video discs.
* Examine Sectors is significantly updated. Added an ability to apply External Hex Editor for detailed analysis of sectors data on CD, DVD or Blu-ray discs. If you're constantly using a professional hex editor (WinHex, Hex Workshop, HxD, etc.) for engineering purposes, you can now connect it to CDRoller and review the sectors data in the most suitable manner. Moreover, if you've created CDRoller Image before, all changes in the sectors data saved by external editor will modify the image file. Further, you can recover files/folders, or extract a whole track(s), or create ISO Image File, and then burn a new disc with modified data. In other words, you have now an opportunity to edit as disc files as separate sectors without leaving CDRoller!
* The old Test Disc option updated. Added expected support of UDF discs.
* Disc properties dialog updated:
- Added DVD Media tab with an additional info for advanced users.
- fixed a bug for write-once UDF disc (CD-R, DVD-R, DVD R, DVD R DL, DVD-R DL, BD-R) when a track was marked as UDF under TOC Tracks tab but UDF file system was not placed on this track.
and much more What's new in version 7.5
- A new DVD-Video authoring option is released. Now, the program includes not only options for search and recovery of the lost movies and photos on the troubled DVDs, but it also makes a new discs that can be played back in the most DVD players.
- Burn option is updated.
- Minor bugs fixed. |
