Yep sounds like securom sector. It's not actually and error, just the sector is a different mode than the rest of the disc.

What issue is protectionid giving you? It works fine here on 64 bit windows 7.

Edutainment software is accepted.

Straight educational (adult, college, rosetta stone etc) has no place here imo... neither driver discs or OS or much anything else not related to gaming in some form.

cover discs from gaming mags accepted of course.

driver discs accepted if they contain games, or game related software (joysticks, steering wheels etc).

We even listed the known working ones...

In plextor it is dumping bad sectors as audio and they seem to match every time.  Don't know if data is correct or not, but I assume so...

for non plextor yeah 55 like clonecd and ddump. or maybe a switch to specify.

DiscImageCreator.exe -rall d: 8 Track c2

This is the command I'm using from .bat

I think the problem is exclusive access is needed, IsoBuster was open but not doing anything. It worked again after I closed IsoBuster.

Ok, will give log next time I get the failure message.

As for splitting the log, yes. Drive, Disc, Error would be great. With more details for each, which track, was error corrected and with what method, etc.

DIC sometimes gives "Failure to open drive" error randomly, maybe look into that.

DIC should never match clonecd or ddump if dumped with Plextor (only!) drive. Don't bother with non plextor.

ddump is also buggy with safedisc 2.5 and up.

Also, thanks for C2 log!

Use plextor, dump with clonecd and also dump with disk image creator.

That stuff is bs with being able to read the bad sectors, the images will work if the sectors are just bad, not really what is on the disc.

As for burning, seems it's firmware bugs not being able to burn all patterns in proper order, the buffers get written to the disc in the wrong order but the data is there.

Done some safedisc disc testing now. It is able to dump safedisc's bad sectors reliably. So far all dumps match on 2 different plextor drives. So far one disc , Daikatana, has been verified from 2 different discs (mine and DJoneK's). However, I think that such discs can ONLY be dumped on plextor drives.

This is both good and bad, the good is safedisc and probably laserlok can be dumped properly now. The bad news is all of those discs in the db need to be dumped again, or invalidated.

That's a bug in CloneCD

Seems to be working now. =]

:EDIT:

I managed to dump some lead-in and pre-gap just fine. I do get errors, but the sectors are dumped anyways with subcode.

I did -5000 0 , but it only dumped 3927 sectors. I am not sure why.

I dumped some discs I have which have audio and mastering errors. It dumped the tracks just fine and they match my manual dumps. I will do further testing.

I dumped a disc with R-W filled with FF, and it was suffering the very slow reading speed. There needs to be some kind of switch to select which mode to read the subs as suggested to get around this.

Is the tool supporting C2 error reporting? Would be nice if it did.

I have not yet tried to dump some discs with intentional errors (safedisc, laserlok, smarte, sector header) I will do some testing on this too and let you know how it goes.

So far I am quite impressed with the tool! I hope you continue to develop it. It would be nice to add some more features like that of EAC and subdump for error detection and handling/repair.
