Robert and Gábor,

Thank you so much for your kind and helpful responses.

I discovered that when I used ddrescue to make the images of my 3
"broken" dvds, I omitted to include a size parameter so I started
getting "length-type errors" when I swapped disks (ddrescue would say
something like "logfile entry starts after the end of the domain" but
I can't remember the exact error).

To fix this, I used isoinfo on the dvds to work out what length of
data I should be looking for, I re-imaged the first disk using
ddrescue _with_ the "--size" option, and then I started swapping disks
and I enabed "--retries". After about 4 hours of work, I have now
turned 3 unreadable dvds into the original iso file, and I have been
able to view my family's holiday photos for the first time in at least
4 years.

I feel so deeply indebted to all the people who've contributed to
ddrescue: I'm amazed that it's turned 3 illegible disks into a perfect
iso file, and I am a very grateful and happy man. Thank you again.

With kindest regards, Jaime
