A year or two ago i have downloaded some Eng movies in .avi format and burnt a DVD. I have watched them both in DVD Player(samsung) and in my computer.(it was Sempron proccy, OS xp and SAMSUNG Combo)
Later my pc was damaged and just two months back i have bought the new rig.( AMD PHENOM II X4, OS VISTA ULTIMATE, LG DVD WRITER) Last Sunday i.e. on 7th March i have inserted that DVD (kept in a cool dark place in plastic case for so much months)to watch the Movies but astonishingly the computer shows that it is a blank DVD.I do a right click on it . Clicked on OPEN but a blank page came out . no trace of files could be seen at all. I immediately took it out and put it in my DVD Player. That also refused to load up anything and instead the DVD got stuck inside it. I have to open the cover and take it out. then I took it to my friend's machine and there also it ended up showing nothing. There is no scratch showing at the back also.
How come 6 avi files just vanished away from a DVD previously watched several times?
pls help.

try with these two softwares..

isobuster (best one)
cdroller

these software's can extract raw data from u r dvd. and i gues it will recover u r files :)

The physical layer storing the data degrades in many ways over time, because of environmental reasons (dust, light etc), and naturally over time as well.
