The downloadable dvdisaster packages have been digitally signed using GnuPG so that you can verify that the software is in its original state.

Starting with version 0.79.5, releases are signed with this 4096bit RSA key:

      Key fingerprint = E3AF E703 96CC C0D9 E5D8  381C B0DB CA7D 64F7 70B2

User's manual

The user manual is provided as a PDF document (manual.pdf). It contains several basic examples of using dvdisaster and some background information on its way of working. You do not need to download the manual if you already have the source code archive - a copy of the manual is contained there.

Codec specification

The specification of the RS01, RS02 and RS03 codec is available as a PDF document (codecs.pdf). This document is meant to discuss the codec implementation among developers. It requires knowledge in the area of coding theory and is not meant as end user documentation.

Software for reading the PDF documents is available at PDFreaders.org.
