    Hi, I have a 25GB Blu-ray disc which contents I can't read. This was originally a blank disc which I burned contents over. After I burned the discs, I can read the content for several weeks until it suddenly quit working. I tried 2 different drives and I had the same problem. Other burned Blu-ray discs work just fine. So, there must be something wrong with the disc but there is no visible physical damage on the disc. No scratch or anything.

    Is there anyway that I can recover the data from the disc? Any data recovery software that I can use (preferably free)?

    h2cdimage and/or dvdisaster could help also.

    H2cdimage is (unfortunately) in german language. It can use multiple drives for extraction - if drive #1 fails, extraction can be continued with another drive.

    DVDisaster is more for prevention of data loss.
