The main problem with Linux is that the drivers at SCSI level in the kernel are
worse than they could be, so if you like to get better results, you should
encourage

No, the high level driver that deals with attached hard disks and that also

I found and tried dvdisaster, but it only works for CDs, not
DVDs. Everything else seems to be Windows-only.

I thought that dvdisaster should work for DVDs based on the name, but
it gives the error "this software does not support DVD-ROM type
media" for DVD games and also for regular movie DVDs. Maybe the
ebuild is limited to just CDs for some

Games on DVD are a general problem as I expect them to contain intentionally
"unreadable sectors" that can neither be distinct from unreadable sectors

The main problem with Linux is that the drivers at SCSI level in the kernel are
worse than they could be, so if you like to get better results, you should
encourage the kernel people to do their homework.

Are you sure this helps?

required for best recovery results, as the problems usually are in the bad
implementation at the drivers at kernel level.
