Creating the error correction data

The error correction data has an important role in dvdisaster:
It is required to recover unreadable medium sectors.

Error correction data can be either kept in a separate error correction file or be incorporated into the image, with respective advantages and disadvantages.

As a short decision help:

Do you need error correction data for an existing medium?

  Yes: Create an error correction file.

  No: see next question.

Does the medium which is to be created contain at least 20% free space?

  Yes: Augment the image with error correction data.

  No: Create an error correction file.
