This time I'm trying to dump the sound track that came with the 'black label' Final Fantasy Anthology.
EAC detects gaps and dumps the tracks identically in three different drives.

But, it appears to be dumping them all wrong since they end up having no '00' gap attached and the music data is cut off in the middle.

Sub code analyzer says there are no gaps (if I'm reading it right)
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 02:36:70 . . .

And the sub data seems to agree

So, I should be ok if I dump each track in ISOBuster and then make corrections for my drive's offset, right?

Any ideas what made EAC mess up in this case? It's really annoying to have a tool like EAC work beautifully one minute and be completely unreliable the next sad

If there are no gaps on all tracks, then just dump without detecting gaps in EAC. Offset correction will still be in effect.

EAC is kind of like that. It'll work perfect most of the time, but screw up at other times. I've had a longstanding issue with EAC where on ~2% of mixed-mode discs I dump, it'll have a sync error on one of the later tracks in an identical position on two of my drives. It dumps perfectly fine on a third drive with EAC, and rips fine using other tools on the two other drives.
