Thanks that works. I got the drive offset from the calculations in my dic logs and got the same results.

Or worked, rather. This worn out plextor was only able to spin up one disc and now it's giving me 5 green blinks or 2 ambers every time Bad luck.

update: got 2 more disc offsets today before it became pissy again

This will give you the combined offset, so you'll have to subtract the read offset

I don't really understand how write offsets apply to data discs to begin with so this may be a stupid question.

Is it possible to find the write offset of single track/data cds without a plextor (and how)?

And if a plextor is required, is there any tool that can do it without reading the entire disc?

I would like to include write offsets in my single track verifications but not if I have to wear out my plextor to do so.
