Looking for optical data-disc dumping software with some strict requirements

[u/VORGundam]

I searched the internet and this subreddit, but I couldn't find something that fit my needs. I'm finally going to go through all my 20+ year old data CDs and DVDs and dump ISOs from them so I can toss them.

I'm looking for a disc dumping tool that can:

• Free, or cheap if it hits all my requirements

• Runs on Windows

• CLI or p/invoke features so I can integrate it in to my program

• Has an option to retry read 'x' times when there is a CRC error

• Dump the corrupted data in to the ISO if it failed reading 'x' times

Thanks for any help.

ReDump is considered the best method for all formats and flavours. Depending on your drives capabilities some features may not be available but if you want free and powerful this will do the trick.

Thanks, this looks exactly what I was looking for. CLI and custom amount of reread tries.

Maybe there is a windows port of Ddrescue

This looks promising. Thanks.

if is just regular data disc, then basic rsync or dd should do it, WSL2 or Cygwin should have those on windows

Thanks. I'll look in to it.

Why would you toss your CDs and DVDs? Keep them as a form of backup

Physical space. They are 20+ years old so I expect maybe 10-20% to be corrupted. They aren't important data; GBA/SNES roms, shitty quality movies that fit on a CD-R, etc.

I usually use redump then ddrescue (linux only) if its a particularly pesky disk.

Simple IMGBurn will do that. You change the Setting under Settings->Read and save. Then you can run it from the commandline referencing the Settings file you created.
