New Release!

CD/DVD Inspector has not had a significant update since 2003 when it became CD/DVD Inspector.  Now, with the release of this product, there are significant changes in the way the product operates and exciting new capabilities.  For the first time it is possible to now capture the entire content of any CD or DVD in its entirety and save this on disk, enabling further examination of the disc without the original media.  The full functionality of CD/DVD Inspector is available when running against an image file.  This can significantly change how you are dealing with optical media.

New features in CD/DVD Inspector are:

• Image file support for both ISO and InfinaDyne image file formats.  CD/DVD Inspector will now open and display information from a .ISO type image file directly and much of the functionality of the product is available.  Complete functionality is available when the InfinaDyne image file format is used.
• Replacement of licensing system.  Many customers have had difficulties with the Rainbow licensing system and dongles.  Because of this we have stopped using Rainbow and moved to WIBU-KEY.  With the WIBU-KEY system each dongle is programmed individually for CD/DVD Inspector before it leaves InfinaDyne.  All keys are identical and no licensing file is required to connect the key to program.  This should make all licensing and authorization much easier for our customers.
• Improved support for graphic file formats.  CD/DVD Inspector now natively supports ART, BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF graphic file formats.  Additionally, over 125 raw camera formats are supported.  Displayed graphic files can be saved into JPEG format for easy interchange with coworkers.
• Improved file scanning user interface.  Previously it was necessary to use a text editor to construct a "specification file" in order to use the Scan Files function.  This has been changed so that the specifications can be entered directly into a dialog in the program.  Saved specification files can still be loaded into the dialog for ease of use.
• Direct support for ISO-type image files.  Now CD/DVD Inspector can open such files and examine them.  Not all of the functionality of CD/DVD Inspector is available when using an ISO image file because this does not contain all of the possible data from a CD or DVD.
• New Sector Display can now be opened at almost any time, even when other dialogs are displayed.  Multiple Sector Display dialogs can be open at the same time.
• New Table of Contents display can be opened and left open for reference purposes.
• File system support improvements to better handle UDF file systems.  Additional changes have been made in how ISO 9660 and Joliet file systems are handled to improve analysis.
• New cross-checking between ISO 9660 and Joliet file systems to determine if there are additional files present in one or the other file system when usually these are identical.

For the 3.0 release there are also changes for the Robotic Loader.  Specifically, the new image file support extends to the Robotic Loader so the entire content of the disc can be saved in this manner.  InfinaDyne is working with other forensic software companies to allow the image file format to be supported in other tools as well.  We expect support in EnCase 6.0 to be available by Q3 2007.  This will enable CD/DVD Inspector to be able to be used to collect evidence to be used with these other tools.

The Robotic Loader support also has a timeout feature now to automatically bypass discs that are going to require considerable time to be processed and a "Stop" button to quickly terminate activity with the loader system.  In addition to the CopyPro loader system other hardware is also available for use with CD/DVD Inspector 3.0 from a variety of manufacturers including WiebeTech, LSK and Rimage.  New manufacturer support is being added as well, so please contact InfinaDyne with your needs and we can determine what hardware best suits them.
