Download IsoBuster 2.5.5 final

A week and a half after the beta release of version 2.5.5 of IsoBuster, Smart Projects has now released the final release. This program specializes in reading bad or damaged CDs and DVDs and in many cases can recover files that are no longer recognized by Windows. Another specialty of IsoBuster is that it can read almost any CD or DVD image format imaginable, including .iso, .bin, .img, .ccd, and .nrg. The program is largely free; only some advanced features are only accessible to paying users. Exactly what those are is up this page to find. The changelog is unchanged from the beta:

Changes:

• Expert Witness Format image file support (*.E01, *.S01, *.L01)

Improvements:

• Improved support for Japanese text in DVD-VR Label and Title
• Implemented *.orf file-type recognition for found files based on their signature
• Implemented *.ncd file-type recognition for found files based on their signature
• “Don’t bother me with this message” option in message when going online
• Command line parameters: “/nodrives” and “/nosplash”
• Improved error message when it’s impossible to open or create a file
• Improved font support in the editor window when displaying text other than sector view
• Do not prompt to make a CUE file if the actual image file was deleted after errors
• The Windows shell command “extract” will now start with “/nodrives”
• Various other GUI improvements

Fixes:

• The program now prompts to overwrite a resource-fork-only file on an NTFS system (rare situation)
• Fixed double prompt for action when NTFS stream(s) and the main file would contain read errors
• When tracks are dragged and extracted, but are split into muliple files, all subfiles are now moved as well from the Drag temp folder to the final folder
• Fixed very rare instance where aborting extraction of a track would cause the next track to be skipped entirely
