321 Studios, the leader in DVD back-up software, announced the release of its latest breakthrough in asset protection technology: DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue. These two new products recover and restore data from unreadable, scratched, corrupt or defective DVDs or CDs (CD-R and CD RW.) Utilizing a DVD or CD burner, DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue create brand new, perfectly playable DVDs or CDs from the damaged original. DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue provide users with the ability to fix a favorite movie that jumps, an audio CD that skips, a photo disc with treasured photos that can no longer be accessed, and other personal and business technology dilemmas. These new products create a brand new and problem-free copy of a DVD or CD from a damaged original.

While CDs and DVDs look to be indestructible, they can be susceptible to a number of disasters caused by every day use. CD X Rescue and DVD X Rescue can repair and restore discs rendered unreadable due to scratches from regular use and even some aggressive scratching beyond normal use as tested in the 321 Studios' laboratory. In addition, these media mediums are subject to common read errors and distortions that cause discs to be unreadable. 321 Studio's DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue fixes a host of these problems however, solution results differ depending on the extent of damage.

CD X Rescue and DVD X Rescue work far better than disc buffer solutions, which actually grind off a portion of the top layer of the disc. While these devices can often temporarily fix certain scratch problems, they are expensive, require refills, and don't offer a long-term solution for disc users.

Users can rescue their damaged or corrupt CDs and DVDs with DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue using nothing more than a DVD/CD burner and blank DVD or CD.

DVD X Rescue and CD X Rescue have been tested extensively, work with all common PC and MAC formats and are compatible with Windows XP/2000/98/ME.
