Mini DVDs store 1.4GB, or about 30 mins of normal quality video. Unfortunately they can fail ofte due to camera or operator error, or just bad luck. This function will analyse the disk and determine if there is viable video on it. If so, it will read and produce a directory with a video disk image.

The process has only only a single prompt, to ensure that the correct out put diectory has been selected.
The first stage is to read areas of the disk to determione if it is a video disk. Many failed disks do not start until about sector 4000, ie approx 0x1000. The next stage is to determine the range of data, testing for both top and bottom locations.
Once the output directory has been selected, the program reads the disk and extracts all MPEG files. These are stored in a directory within the output path.
Once all MPEGs have been read, a routine is called that merges the MPEGs into .VOB files and also creates .IFO files. These are stored in the directory VIDEO_TS and represent an image of a video disk. Standard DVD burning software can the be used to create an actual DVD
