Most everyone who visits this site has used this program a few times I suspect. If you want to take a peek at CD ISO's, or you need to salvage files from a bad CD or DVD this is a tool that is on your system. It simply works. There are too many features for this program to list here. It is available in 41 languages as well. Looks like they dumped the little bat logo though. Kinda miss that one.
|  IsoBuster 1.6 (Build 1.6.0.19)
This version is an update for version 1.6 and features : - A serious registration issue has been solved for people that bought a key after April 25th 2004. IsoBuster 1.6.0.18 could "forget" its registration and cause some frustration to registered users when they were told to register the program again. Registered users, please upgrade your installation! Simply download this latest version (http://www.isobuster.com/download) and over-install it. Re-enter your key if asked.
Other changes / fixes : - A fix for an error message under NT4 (Use of API not supported under NT4)
- A workaround for a UDF mastering bug by VOB InstantWrite software (Old version of software in combination with big files)
- Various small changes to be able to properly recognize block-size and offsets in Mac image files containing HFS(+) as only file system.
- A workaround for a Windows XP (design) issue that prevented Windows itself from exploring a CD or DVD. This problem could occur when IsoBuster had been started when there was no media in the drive. The resulting blocking of XP lasted until IsoBuster was closed again.
- Automatic removal of "mailto:" when the email client adds "mailto:" to the registration ID when copying the ID from email client to IsoBuster registration window.
- Added Belarussian translation to the "all languages" download.
- A workaround for a buggy behaving drive "ARTEC WRR-4848" that doesn't like being asked if it can do Mount Rainier or not. The effect was a 20 seconds delay startup of the program.
- Found and fixed a rare situation where an externally connected USB drive was not found because the adaptor did not exist according to Windows XP.

The program has pretty good free functionality, however it is USD 25.95 for the full version which isn't bad at all. But, for instance, if you want to see if you can recover a lost or damaged file, you can check with the free version. If you want to extract it, you will have to buy the program. But, at least you can check first. If it can't read it in the free version, it won't be able to in the paid one. This is pretty handy, maybe then it will be worth the purchase price depending on the data, with the first use.
