I had a direct to CD recording of a live event die when the power went down. The disk would not finalize. I have googled the net, run the search here... is there anywhere that can bring this puppy back to life? Anyone? I have to rescue this... RiRo |

Have you tried any data retrieval services yet? |

Sounds like you'd need to make a bitstream copy of the disk contents, then edit the file headers. If you can get a copy, it's possible it might work if you just rename the file with a .wav suffix. If you can't close the disk you may have difficulty in retrieving the data yourself as standard cdroms won't see the data. Have you tried putting the disk into an audio cd player? Sometimes unclosed sessions will play back (reluctantly) and you may be able to stream the audio to another format. BFB |

How do I make a bitstream copy? Yes, I have tried it in several players. They all show no disk. RiRo |

Try to extract the cd image using any tool you find... Maybe Nero would work ? Or try also ISO Buster. it is a powerful tool and has recovery features. If you can extract any kind of image, you may have some success just opening it in Sound Forge as raw data 44100, 16 bit. |

Iomega has a data recovery service. Have no idea how much they would charge though. I could have sworn CompUSA had one too? I'm having trouble finding it though. Give your local CompUSA a call. HTH, Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid mD's ACIDplanet Page Guitars 4 Kids |

If you google "data recovery" you'll find a ton of services. |

I'm not sure where to look to fix this problem. I've run into this problem a couple times, but it was during a simple DAT to cdr transfer, so I just needed to rerun the job. It is always a good idea to record to 2 seperate mediums when doing a live record. Even in the studio when recording Voice overs I will recored directly to hard drive and a DAT recorder will be running in the background also. It has saved many possible headaches. It's better to do a little extra precaution work up front than to deal with the dilema you're currently in. Although none of this information helps you out of this current situation, hopefully you can at least walk away with a learning experience. Nothing in recording is 100% gauranteed to work properly, so you need to be prepared for problems ahead of time. I would try closing the disc using a cdr burning app, ez cd creator, nero, cdrwin..etc. Another thing I would try is Norton recovery utilities. Also, CDRwin lets you create an image file and a seperate cue file. The cue file contains the table of contents information. It was this part that didn't get written properly when you had problems with your CDR. So if it's possible to extract the data from the cdr, you could create your own Cue file using a simple text editor and reburning a disc using CDRwin, that could then be read by a cd player. |
