Figures: Error analysis


When reading or scanning media, dvdisaster can visualize the reading speed curve (green) and the number of read errors (red peaks). Visualization is only available in version 0.53.1 and earlier; it will be re-introduced in version 0.60.
 


This chart shows how many errors must be corrected per error correction block, giving an estimate of the working load of dvdisasters error correction. The error graph does not correlate with the spatial arrangement of read errors since the method is explicitly based upon an equal distribution of medium read errors over all error correction blocks.

Upto 32 read errors can be compensated per error correction block (green line) when the standard settings are used. Exceeding this line means that the medium contents can not be fully recovered.
