This site provides the latest source code release of dvdisaster for the FreeBSD, GNU/Linux and NetBSD operating systems. It is mostly aimed at maintainers of binary packages for the beforementioned platforms. End users might find it more convenient to install dvdisaster from the package system of their operating system bundle or distribution. But if you prefer to download and compile the source package on your own, you're welcome, too.
This site does not provide information on the purpose and usage of dvdisaster. This is better described at other places, e.g. in the user manual and numerous online forums.

The developer versions are back!

The original plan of publishing stable versions every few months did not work out due to continued lack of time. In the mean time, developer (unstable) versions are published whenever the need arises for a current update. Please be aware that developer versions are undocumented and may contain unfinished or otherwise defective functionality. You should only use them if you need some of the features detailed in the list below.

dvdisaster-0.79.6.tar.bz2 (digital signature, MD5 sum: b9e95850df4d344c8ec7d6cac89b6feb)

• The "medium info" tool will now correctly show the blank capacity (was previously always shown as zero)
• added support for BDXL-TL (triple layer, 100GB) media
• Sector CRC sums and the image MD5 sums are collected during reading the medium and can be re-used by the ecc data creation process. Speeds up ecc generation and enables RS03 image checksums when generating ecc data was preceeded by a read.
