You don't need any specific tools. Take IsoBuster and try to open the next sector after the lead-out (in the "Sector View").

What's different concretely? I'm thinking 0xbe subch:0x04(a.k.a pack) vs. 0xd8 subch:0x02 is same except a random error and 0xbe subch:0x01(a.k.a raw) vs. 0xd8 subch:0x08 is same except a random error.
1) CD+G subs are completely different if dumped in 0xD8 mode (R-W channels are in some weird format in this case and the data is unusable).
2) If I've understood Jackal correctly, Securom sectors are replaced with the neighbour (twin) sectors if dumped in 0xD8 mode. Doesn't affect Libcrypt sectors as far as I know.

Yes, audio only disc is forcibly set 0xbe, for I'm thinking there is no difference in the outputted data. I'll fix it If I'm wrong.
Why not to let the user decide? At least the subs obviously differ between 0xbe and 0xd8 modes.

Are you sure DIC uses exactly the pack mode and not the raw subs mode? Haven't tried yet (need to dig my 2 cd+gs for that), just asking.

Re: DiscImageCreator (3,521 replies, posted in General discussion)
I'd recommend PerfectRip with its 100b packed mode for subs, it enables Plextor's internal error correction for CD+G and you get the constant sub dumps with it.

But it should be possible to detect the offset with some other tools and force it in DIC instead of auto-detection, correct?

Well, it seems it only saves the .sub part for the SD zone, but not for HD :-( Will try to ask sarami to add the .sub reading/decoding for the HD part as well (it's in the same format, the only difference is a slightly different MSF/AMSF encoding after the 99:59:74 point).

My final output has to be in Clone CD format for compatibility with the rhea device.
When I search for Saturn the old guide which did not mention DIC was the only thing I could find.
Both PerfectRip and DIC support CloneCD format, so there was/is no point in using Clone CD at all (except certain protected PC games maybe). Also it's just a format, you can convert any Redump dump (or any other random dump in any other format) into the Clone CD format without any loss.

I don't think the clonecd image has any use for us, since the audio there is definetely cut from the end due to lack of the offset correction. If you were in such a hurry, you could either follow the old guide or to run DIC without any additional parameters (it has a built-in help to figure out the basic commands). Of course, if you have a proper drive (you haven't even mentioned the drive(s) you were trying to use).

Re: Request: Clean up of Wiki/Forum dump guides or detailed Saturn guide (12 replies, posted in General discussion)
You should start with a DIC dump of something. EAC isn't needed, PerfectRip is ok as an additional verification, but not mandatory. Clone CD sub is useless, we use own tool to dump the subs. Ringcode scans would be nice (though, scans don't always have the ring text visible, in that case the photos would be nice). Revisions are on the ringcodes, not in the headers. No "EXE Date" for Saturn, "Build date" instead (from header, yes). Titles/barcodes can be found on satakore.com, unless you have something very special (try to amaze me via PM in that case, I'm pretty familiar with the entire Saturn library and the rarity of each release).
