Help on UDF reader!!

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Friends,

Recently, I purchased a Sony Dual-layer DVD burner which came with NERO
buring sofware, and an "updated" UDF reader.

Previously, I had Sanyo DVD ROM & a Sanyo CD burner, using Easy CD
Creator. (I kept the CD burner as a 2nd drive.)

My problem is: of about 100 CDR-W's that were burned using the UDF reader
(that is bundled with Easy CD Creator) at least 50% are "unreadable"
using the UDF reader that came with the NERO software. Does anyone know
of a "work-around" for this problem? Is there a program that will recover
info from CDR-W's?

I have called Sony about the problem - they told me to pound sand - that
there wasn't anything they could do. NERO told me they are aware of the
problem, but there's nothing they can do either. I went to COMPUSA, and
the morons had no clue about recovery software.

And, if you are thinking of suggesting I reinstall Easy CD Creator,
forget it! Installing these two programs on the same computer will lock-
up your system tighter than you have ever seen!

There has to be an easier way!!

Thanks for any and all help!

Fairwinds and following seas,

SCPO

Maybe ISObuster. It has the function of reading Directcd disks.
