Complete CD Imaging

• Now CD/DVD Inspector can create an image file containing all of the information required to completely process any disc in a set of two files. The first file contains the complete "raw" track data with all subchannels from a CD and all of the user sector data from all sessions on a DVD. The second file is in XML format and contains all of the information that CD/DVD Inspector has extracted from the various control structures on the disc and the file systems.

Supports creation of ZIP images from media

• Contains all files, even those not part of the directory structure (deleted or damaged)
• One-step image collection from otherwise inaccessible CD or DVD discs.
• Use of 'hard links" minimizes size of the image file while retaining complete content of the disc.
• No other forensic tool supports this directly.

Supports DVD Media Recovery

• Support all forms of DVD media. In order to read DVD+R and DVD+RW discs, a DVD device that supports this media format is necessary.

MD5 Hash Capabilities

• For users familiar with Hashkeeper hash sets, CD/DVD Inspector generates a hash set from the files on an otherwise unreadable CD or DVD. Also, it will compare a hash set to files on such discs.

File scanning

• "Inaccessible" discs files can be searched using scan specification syntax, including regular expressions.

Built-in Image Viewer

• This tool identifies files containing graphic content (ART, BMP, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) independent of the file extension.
• Supports RAW images from over 125 different digital cameras.

Low-level sector examination and scanning

• Displays sectors in hexadecimal and character. It also scans all sectors of a disc for particular data For example, it locates an email address on a disc regardless of what file the mail may be in. This searches the complete disc, not just areas identified as belonging to files.

Data pane

• Allows direct examination of the contents of files on the disc from the main window. The information can be displayed in either character or hexadecimal/character form. The data pane can be resized and scrolled as needed.

Disc Memory and Checkpoint

• This feature eliminates lengthy re-discovery of the disc’s contents. Additionally, it allows for interruption of a disc examination and then resumption of that same examination at a later time. This is useful as some disc examinations can be lengthy, often taking more than 12 hours.

Intensive UDF File Examination

• Locates files that have been dropped from the directory structure. This is a common occurrence for UDF format discs with current software. This examination is done automatically when errors are detected in the directory structure that may have caused files to be lost. It can also be manually requested when needed to recover files that have been deleted.

Expanded Retry Capabilities

• Permits users to select the level of automatic retries performed whenever a data error is encountered. This can make otherwise unreadable data sectors readable again. This allows the user to balance examination speed with thoroughness.

Improved reporting capabilities

• Multiple report formats for documenting the contents of a disc
• By folder, with and without MD5 hash information
• By file name, with and without MD5 hash information.
• Files with MD5 hash information.
• An export format similar to the Hashkeeper hash set format. This can then be used to import hash information into other software.

CD Text, ISRC and RID Audio Disc Display

• CD Text contains album, track and artist names on Sony and home-produced music CDs. (ISRC is the acronym for International Standard Recording Code. It is a code used to identify the recording studio and publisher of a music track.
  RID is the acronym for Recorder Identification. It is written to music CDs recorded on standalone CD recorders used with audio systems.) Bullet point one
