Infinadyne has donated a copy of CD/DVD Inspector4.0 (value $599) along with a book written by Paul Crowley called CD and DVD Forensics, which was given the second team on our list (chronologically) Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia. CD/DVD Inspector4.0 is a professional software for intensive analysis and extraction of data from CD-R, CD-RW and DVD media tailored for professionals in data recovery, forensics, and law enforcement. Building on the data recovery technology in CD/DVD Diagnostic™, it adds detailed displays and enhanced media search abilities, improving performance and usability.
CD/DVD Inspector reads all major CD and DVD filesystem formats including ISO-9660, Joliet, UDF, HSG, HFS and HFS+. When the disc being examined contains more than a single filesystem, all filesystems found are displayed. Multiple filesystems are present for hybrid Macintosh/PC discs as well as for discs that are produced by DirectCD and other packet-writing software. DVD Video discs include both the UDF and ISO-9660 filesystem as well.
CD/DVD Inspector now includes a flexible report generator which can be tailored to your specific requirements. Over 50 separate data items can be selected for reports with output in direct to print, HTML, text file or CSV. With printed and HTML reports thumbnails can be included for pictures. Reports can be sorted by any data item included in the report. Also available is Robotic Loader Extension, a tool to automate the handling of the massive quantities of CD and DVD evidence that is being collected, which includes support for photographing and tracking discs.
