Active@ DVD Eraser provides a simple solution for erasing rewritable optical media, such as CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs. It greatly extends upon the basic functionality provided in Windows to improve performance, securely erase content and add new features for both novice and advanced users. The latest edition sports various improvements and minor bug fixes. To save you time, the software also supports multiple devices and automatic erasing, making it suitable even for those who have hundreds of discs they want to wipe. Wiping rewritable media represents a preferable alternative to physically destroying it, not least because rewritable optical discs tend to be expensive and relatively hard to come by these days. However, Active@ DVD Eraser will help to make sure that the erased disc will be ready to use again without problems.
Secure Data Erasure
Developer LSoft Technologies has many years of experience creating data recovery and security utilities. In particular, it has perfected the process of securely erasing data so that no one will ever be able to get it back. Active@ DVD Eraser provides two erasure methods. For everyday use and where there is no potentially sensitive data stored on the media, the quick erasure process is the simplest and fastest. By using the Quick Erase mode, the disk’s file system will be changed on a drive level so that the operating system sees it as a blank disc. It may also be used again for any purpose. However, if you want to make sure that the deleted data will never be retrievable, the Full Erase mode will overwrite the surface of the disc, clearing the original data entirely by writing a neutral pattern over it. However, you’ll still be able to reuse the disc.
Command Line Support
Active@ DVD Eraser couldn’t be easier to use. It’s a delightfully simple program with an intuitive and straightforward interface that’s designed to save you time. Simply choose your preferred erase option, insert the rewritable optical disc into your burner drive, choose the speed and click the Erase button. You can select a lower burn (erase) speed to reduce the chance of errors developing on the disc as well. However, it’s usually fine to use the optimal burn speed specified by your burner drive and/or media you are using. After erasure is complete, the drive will automatically eject the media, and it will be ready to reuse.
While the process is extremely simple, there are also some advanced features for more demanding users. These can be accessed by specifying command line parameters. For example, you can use the /ERASE parameter to have the erasure process start automatically as soon as you launch the program or the /FULL parameter to automatically use the secure erasure mode every time. This is particularly useful if you have large archives of optical discs containing sensitive data that you want to permanently get rid of. You can run these commands from the Windows command line or Run command to automate and simplify the process.
