Please make sure that dvdisaster has been configured as described in the

create sub optimal error correction data.

these two ways:<p>

This may take a while depending on the image size and the selected redundancy.
For example creating an error correction file using the "normal" redundancy setting
will take about 5 minutes for a 4GB sized DVD image and using standard hardware.
