File Recovery - Copy files from damaged media

File Recovery - Copy files from damaged media What a wonderful tool! I just copied an AVI file from a CD using this piec of software. It was fast and quick and did the job! CDs, DVDs and hard disks are increasingly being used for storage of music and videos. For such multimedia a perfect copy is not always important. Who cares about a few kilobytes of corrupt data that may only equate to one bad video frame or a fraction of a second of audio loss? Most users won't even notice the difference. The CRC checks, however, usually make it impossible to transfer or use the corrupted file and sometimes even cause the computer to stop responding. JFileRecovery will recover music and videos from damaged hard drives, CDs, DVDs and Flash media and usually the corrupted area will not be noticeable.
