CDRoller 9.30

Despite the fact they are really old, DVDs and especially CDs are still popular nowadays. That's because they are very cheap and they can store a reasonable amount of data. Besides that, they can be played by numerous devices. Still, despite their huge popularity, optical discs have some downsides. One of them is their reliability, which is extremely low. CDs can get easily scratched if they are not used with proper attention and even the slightest scratch can make the data on the disc unreadable. Supposing that data is very important, then the user will have a real problem. Fortunately, there is a solution to this and that's the program CDRoller. It's a software that can recover data from any type of optical disc, no matter if the disc is scratched or badly recorded.

The installation process of CDRoller is point and click and completes in matter of seconds without much intervention from the user. The operating systems supported by the program are in the Windows family, ranging from XP to Windows 7.

The interface of CDRoller is simple and features some graphical buttons that can perform the most important tasks of the software. The user just needs to insert the desired CD into the drive, click on the recovery button and that's it. After a while, depending on how badly the disc is scratched, the recovered files will be at the user's finger tips. Besides recovering data from corrupted media, CDRoller can also convert recovered VOB video files into the MPEG format. Besides that, it can burn a new disc with all the recovered data and can even erase a rewritable disc.

The interface displays in a window at any time some helping text regarding the program's functionality and options. This allows any type of user, even beginners, to quickly get familiar with the software. There is also a comprehensive help file available.
