Smart Projects heeft IsoBuster versie 5.8 uitgebracht. Dit programma is gespecialiseerd in het lezen van slechte of beschadigde externe opslagmedia, zoals cd's, dvd's, harde schijven, USB-sticks en geheugenkaartjes, en kan in veel gevallen nog bestanden terughalen die door Windows niet meer worden herkend. Een ander sterk punt van IsoBuster is dat het bijna elk denkbaar cd- of dvd-image-formaat kan lezen, waaronder *.iso, *.bin, *.img, *.ccd en *.nrg. Het programma is gedeeltelijk gratis, echter de meeste geavanceerde features zijn alleen voor betalende gebruikers toegankelijk. Welke dat precies zijn, is op deze pagina te vinden. In deze uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
Changes / New:Improvements:
- Support for 'Advanced Forensic Format' (versions 1-3) (*.aff, *.afd, *.afm) (compressed (or not), but not encrypted). Needs a [Professional] license
- Support for Panasonic DV Recorders with a high volume of recordings (thousands), for instance on large external HDDs (e.g. 2TB)
- Support for Vineyard (IVR-Q8) CCTV-formatted hard drives, enabling extraction of *.mcg files for access to video streams.
Fixes:
- Greatly improved detection of files based on their signature (better detection of already supported files, inclusion of new files and less false positives)
- When *.mp3 files are detected via their signature, they get a filename based on their ID3 meta data
- Historically, when a DVR HDD is recognized, a scan for missing files and folders only looks for VOB/Mpeg files (to avoid clutter and false positives). This has been extended to also include *.mp3, *.wav and *.jpg files
- Ability to scan for all types of extensions [*.*] on recognized DVR HDDs via Ctrl+Shift+right-mouse-click
- Added detection for a bunch of raw camera picture formats (*.raf, *.x3f, *.gpr, *.3fr, *.iiq, *.mos, *.erf, *.bay, *.mef, *.mrw, *.cr2, *.sr2, *.arw, *.orf, *.nef, *.pef, *.srw, *.iiq, *.rw2, *.kdc, ..)
- Improved parsing DVD-VR discs to show all recordings
- Confirmed support for Panasonic DMR-BWT450GL and DMR-BWT955GL DV Recorders
- Show comments, stored per recording in the Panasonic MEIHDFS file system, in the status-bar, when the recording is selected
- Improvements in the search box to allow spaces in search queries where possible
- The search box now support rule 'Sort:', to sort certain search terms
- Editing of editable files/folders shown in search results, is now possible
- A CD's track mode, stored in a *.ibp, is overridden if the source CD reader made a mistake
- An MBR inside a partially overwritten Super-floppy VBR, is now detected, so that partitions can still be found
- Small improvements supporting the HFS and MFS file systems
- File-date and the file's real name are now also stored in AppleSingle and AppleDouble files
- The installer now makes sure that W10 and W11 lists IsoBuster under 'Apps', so that IsoBuster can easily be selected, to associate with an extension
- Support for corrupted (long defunct ReQuest-made) ISO files (often accompanied by a *.rqv file (which is ignored))
- Reduced StatusBar flicker when a Dark theme is applied
- Reduced ListView-Header flicker when a theme is applied
- Reduced flicker when the Options dialog is shown (mostly visible when a Dark Style is active)
- Improved Breadcrumbs style (when hovered over) on Windows 11
- Automatic collapsing of the TreeView nodes can be disabled in Options
- Preview is now enabled for *.m4v and *.m2ps
- Plenty of other tweaks and improvements, lots of changes under the hood
- Fixed performing a surface scan [From-To] in "Read Reverse" mode. It would mistakenly read forward, starting from the end
