Digital Media Recovery

New data recovery software designed to assist with a variety of operations–including hard drive data recovery–can help when disaster strikes. Disk Doctors has launched Digital Media Recovery, software designed to retrieve deleted, or corrupted files from Memory Cards, USB Storage devices, and hard drives. This application comes packed with advanced features, an easy-to-use interface, and has support for RAW photographic files.

Features for this version include a fast thumbnail-viewer, enhanced support for RAW formats, as well as an option to burn recovered files directly onto CD/DVD media. For music and video files, the new application is equipped with a specially crafted retrieval engine that can identify each fragment of a lost or deleted mp3 or mpeg file; it creates a virtual map to determine the file size that results in a working file, whereas existing retrieval applications recoup only fragments or parts of music and video files. The currently launched version of the software reclaims lost or deleted pictures, music, and video files from Memory Sticks, Flash Cards, Sony Memory Stick, IBM Micro Drive, SD Cards, MMC Cards, XD Cards, Secure Digital Card, Zip Disks and Mini Disks. It comes specially designed with support for all major camera brands–Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Sony & Minolta, among others.
