How do I recover data from a corrupted DVD?

I used Ashampoo Burning Suite 2010 to add data to an existing DVD. Now the earlier data is lost(i.e. it is not visible to photo software programs) Only the new data is visible & readable. An evaluation copy of ISOBUSTER is able to "see" the earlier files (sessions) but will only recover them if a licence fee is paid. The lost files are not particularly valuable hence I do not wish to pay the rather high licence fee for what, hopefully, will be a single use. I am sure that I had a magazine cover "freebie" software that would enable recovery of such files/earlier sessions but unfortunately I am unable to locate this. Is anyone aware of any free software that will recover such "lost" files/sessions, please.

It's an oldie but worth having a look. If it can't create an image within the program, then use BS10 to create an image on your hard drive. Select ISO File Format not the Ashampoo one.

Again, I haven't tried it but worth a go.

The problem is that, although the disc was added to in BS10, BS can no longer read the disc so I can't do anything to it within BS. I've now tried Greenfish-DataMiner but again this does not find the missing data. Only ISOBUSTER seems able to do this! Think I'm going to have to call it a day on this one. Thanks for your help.
