TrueDisc Error Correction for Disc Burning?

An anonymous reader asks: "Macintouch has a link to a new piece of software — TrueDisc — which claims to make data burned to record-able discs more reliable. More specifically it uses interleaved redundant cells to rebuild data should part of the disc be scratched. On the developer's blog they say they plan to create an open-source implementation of the TrueDisc system, now that it is not going to be included in the Blu-ray/HD-DVD standards. Have any of you used this software before, and what alternatives are already available?"

    You mean, if Slashdot stored every comment twice, there would be no more redundant posts? What about incorrect or off-topic posts? Would these, also, be a thing of the past?

    Does this apply to articles as well? No more dupes? No more FUD? No more slashvertizements?

    You, my friend, are a genius!

    And I was trying not to post in this thread, so I could moderate something! Damn you!

      Mod parent redundant! Or insightful! Or funny! Or... Ok, redundant just wouldn't be fair; and I meta-moderate.
