- Recovers CD data created by Sony digital cameras that record directly onto disks.
- "On-the-fly" unpacks the files initially compressed by Roxio (Adaptec) DirectCD.
- Retrieves back up files from the disks recorded in several stages (multisession disks).
- Finds and retrieves the lost files on UDF disks, including: accidently deleted files, files on quick-formatted disk, files on incorrectly closed disk, etc.
- Rescues the data from scratched, damaged or defective discs.

One new feature that is a little mind boggling, is the "Built in File Identifier". Apparently, even if the file is so damaged that the extension is lost, the program can read the content and re-associate the data with the proper extension. You can visit the site for a download and right now they are offering a 3 year license for only US$ 29.95. They have a trial download as well, usually these type of programs will allow you to determine the possibility of retrieval, by showing you which files it can recover if you should decide to buy it.
