MGP Disk Diag

MGP Disk Diag is a software application that can recover movies from broken or excessively scratched CDs or DVDs.

Right from the start you can create or open existing projects. Since most people will want to create a new recovery process, the following screen holds all the options you need to retrieve your lost media.

The first you can do is create a list of files and folders you can import for recovery, and then choose the output path. Afterwards, you can select the optimization progress and hit 'Start.'

There isn't too much else this program can do except choosing the fastest customization process from a list of five available recovery speeds. These are dedicated to the type and importance of data you must save. The 'Fastest' can be used for low-quality movies that don't require a lot of processing power to retrieve lost information, while 'Slow' and 'Slowest' can work for so called 'normal data' and 'very important data.’

MGP Disk Diag does notify users that not all files can be fixed by the program's engine. For instance, documents from Microsoft Office and PDF files need another third-party application to sort them out. This sort of disclaimer is more than welcomed since you can't expect a simple program like this one to fix all the broken documents and files in the world by just clicking on the 'Start' button.

MGP Disk Diag is built for some to be the ultimate salvation tool in case some precious media files have been destroyed or simply damaged. Many times, important movies or melodies that carry an emotional significance are considered lost forever if data on the disk gets corrupt. Not anymore, apparently, since MGP Disk Diag 2010 is able to recover everything as long as the header of the movies is still intact.

In the end, even though this app claims to be the mother of all repairing and recovery applications, it won't be able to handle quite everything you put it through. PDF and Office files are officially not supported.
