Sorry to hear that it wasn't a complete success.  But, good that you
found only one file irretrievable.  Can you try downloading the
corrupted file from somewhere?  

I like the way that dvdisaster says in it's manual that it gets best
results recovering data if you've got a good copy of the data first (or
words to that effect) ...  Well, DAH!  Who would need a data recovery
app if you already had a good copy? :-/
