Pardon the verbose title. I want a dedicated topic to this discussion so it doesn't become an obscured nuance that need-be tracked across several random threads.

Required reading: https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImag … issues/250

All known examples (all of which are correctly dumped in redump by the redumper app):
-"CD-i / Video CD Titel-Neuheiten II/95", see further convo: http://forum.redump.org/topic/53657/fix … iten-ii95/
-all 7th Guests Philips CDi's (doesn't include Disc 2 Audio CD of course) - http://redump.org/discs/quicksearch/7th … rt/system/

Additionally, I'll add that really any CD-i discs should be currently dumped by redumper as the strongly preferred program for redump purposes. 

Perhaps a notation or comment of some sort may be helpful on these particular affected discs, but I don't know or have a strong opinion there.

I asked a similar issue to F1ReB4LL in the past.

Some PC Engine CD have 00:02:74 pregap in track 02 (e.g. http://redump.org/disc/40354/).
These 1st 75 pregaps have "audio" flag in sub Qchannel.

These "audio" sectors should not be descrambled? LBA 3440 have sync, msf and mode, but it's audio in sub Q.

If to follow the red/yellow book standard, the first second (75 sectors) has the same mode as the previous track, should be left scrambled, the rest of pregap (150 sectors) - descrambled. But due to some kind of a mastering error the first second is 74 sectors, not 75, I guess? So the 74 sectors should be left as is and the next 150 sectors descrambled, I think.
If to follow the TOC logic (next track starts at index 01 and index 00 belongs to the previous track) - the entire pregap should be left scrambled.
If to follow the sub logic (next track starts at index 00) - all the pregap sectors should be descrambled if possible.

So, probably it is better to descramble those.

The above case is that track 1 is audio, track 2 is data. But in case of "CD-i / Video CD Titel-Neuheiten II/95", track 1 is data, track 2 is audio.
Then, if to follow the red/yellow book standard, the first second (75 sectors) has the same mode as the previous track, should be descrambled, the rest of pregap (150 sectors) - left scrambled.
If to follow the TOC logic (next track starts at index 01 and index 00 belongs to the previous track) - the entire pregap should be descrambled.
If to follow the sub logic (next track starts at index 00) - all the pregap sectors should be left scrambled if possible.

So, probably it is better to left scrambled those.
