I have been dumping my CDs with both IsoBuster and CloneCD, and I just noticed that they generated different cue sheets. All my CloneCD cue sheets are Mode 1, while all my IsoBuster are Mode 2.

For example, for one disc CloneCD created:

FILE "th06.img" BINARY
   TRACK 1 MODE1/2352
   INDEX 1 00:00:00

For the same disc, IsoBuster gave me:

FILE "CD.iso" BINARY

REM ORIGINAL MEDIA-TYPE: CD

  REM SESSION 01        ; Not supported by other applications (*)
    TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
      INDEX 01 00:00:00
      REM MSF: 00:00:00 = LBA: 0

REM (*) SESSION directives are unfortunately not properly supported
REM     'out there'.  IsoBuster however supports them !

Both image files are identical.

Before noticing this, I submitted four discs with the IsoBuster cue sheet. The three that were already in the database are listed as Mode 1, unlike my submitted cue sheet. The fourth was a new disc and has been added as Mode 2, and I believe this may be an error.

Am I doing something wrong when dumping? Is this a problem with my drive? I am currently trying to get a dump with cue sheet on another machine to see if I get similar results.

Since the extracted images have the same crc, just open the extracted image in a HEX editor and look at the last pair of bytes in the fist line. If "01" -> Mode1 ; If "02" -> Mode 2

00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 00 02 00 01

So it looks like it is Mode 1. Thanks!

IsoBuster has had this mode2 bug for quite some time, don't bother using it for cue sheets.
