+finite time (typically for many years).  After that time, data loss develops
+slowly with read errors growing from the outer media region towards the
+inside.
+
+Dvdisaster stores data on CD/DVD/BD (supported media) in a way that it is
+fully recoverable even after some read errors have developed.  This enables
+you to rescue the complete data to a new medium.
+
+Data loss is prevented by using error correcting codes.  Error correction
+data is either added to the medium or kept in separate error correction
+files.  Dvdisaster works at the image level so that the recovery does not
+depend on the file system of the medium.  The maximum error correction
+capacity is user-selectable.")
