// Hello people reading the README source :)

== Prelude

I needed a program to efficiently repair the data on optical discs.


== Goals

* [ ] CLI Args
** [ ] Input device
** [ ] Output file (ISO 9660)
** [ ] Repair map file
** [ ] sequence_length
** [ ] brute_passes
** [ ] Sector size override?

* Repair Algorithm
** Stage 1: Trial
*** [ ] 1 - From first sector, parse forward to error.
*** [ ] 2 - From last sector, parse backwards to error.
*** [ ] 3 - From center of data for trial, parse forward to error or end of remaining trial domain.
*** [ ] 4 - Stripe-skip remaining data, attempting to read largest trial domains first.
**** [ ] If data keeps reading good, no skip will occur until an error is reached.
** Stage 2: Isolation
*** [ ] From largest to smallest untrustworthy sequence, attempt to read each sequence at half sequence_length.
*** [ ] Same, but at quarter sequence_length.
*** [ ] Same, but at eighth sequence_length.
*** [ ] By sector, parse untrustworthy sequences from start to error, and end to error. Mark mid section for brute force.
** Stage 3: Brute Force
*** [ ] Desperately attempt to recover data from marked sections.
*** [ ] Attempt for brute_passes, retrying all failed sectors.

* [ ] Repair Map
** [ ] I'll figure out some kind of language for this...
