This is official description

IsoBuster is an award winning , highly specialized and easy to use CD, DVD and blu-ray (BD, HD DVD) data recovery tool.
It supports all CD / DVD / BD / HD DVD formats and all common file-systems ... Rescue lost files from a bad or trashed CD or DVD disc, save important documents, precious pictures, video from the family, your only system backup, ... IsoBuster can do it all !

The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 2.5

IsoBuster is a file recovery application specifically designed for retrieving data from various discs. It has support for all common disc formats (Direct CD, InCD, DLA, and Instant-Write) and is capable of performing surface scans, accessing data that Windows simply cannot read.

With IsoBuster you can recover important documents (since it shows all the tracks and sessions located on the media) along with all system files that are present. Results are displayed in an explorer-like window; and instead of being limited to the files other programs of the kind pick for you, this program grants you access to the complete recovered disc image.

A certain advantage of this application is that it is able to access data from older sessions, like CD-RW erased sessions. Additionally, IsoBuster is compatible with VCD, SVCD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RAM, HD-DVD, DVD-ROM, and many other disc formats. It can also read .iso, .bin., cue, .dao, tao, .nrg, and some other image files.

The program's free trial will show you the files found but it won't let you recover them.

Supports a wide variety of disc image and disc formats, including BluRay.
Retrieves older sessions.

What's new in version 2.8

Changes:
- A great deal of new extensions were added to the signature detection which happens during a search for missing files and folders. Besides a large number of various files, picture formats and multimedia files there's now also accurate detection of documents such as: *.wpd, *.sdw, *.odt, *.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi, *.sxm, *.std, *.ott, *.ots, *.ods, *.odb, *.odg, *.odf, *.odp, *.wb2, *.nsf, *.max and most Office document formats, such as *.doc, *.docx, *.xls, *.xlsx, *.ppt, *.pptx, *mdb, *.pst, *.pub, *.vsd, *.rtf, *.db, *.one, *.wri, *.msi
- Command line support has been enhanced with a large number of new parameters and combinations. Besides initiating "/scan" and extracting the files found based on their signature "sig:" there is now also the possibility to extract "all:" tracks / sessions / file systems, dynamically change the names of the extract-to files or folders, export file-lists ("/tree") based on a number of parameters/ tokens etc.

Improvements:
- UDF scan for missing files improvements, so that in case of many references to VAT tables not the same sectors are read again and again, and so that duplicate UDF FS are not listed anymore
- Updated EWF support to the latest and greatest status of the LibEWF project
- Ability to "OK to all" on Windows IO errors during extraction to avoid X amount of such dialogs when multiple files are processed
- Always display a message after a forced online check, even if it is the most recent version, and even if the user set not to display beta or final version warnings
- The cue file full path was displayed in the Save Dialog control instead of only the filename.
- Ability to build lists, showing the extents of fragmented files. [Business] feature.
- Various other GUI improvements

Fixes:
- Small issue that caused some DVD IBP/IBQ images to be recognised as CD, so that they could not be completed anymore, etc.
