These areas are either weak sectors or even not pre-formatted!

As for discs with those visible rings, they can not be dumped, both, CD and DVD.
You would have to mark the unreadable sectors somehow, and when burning
let the burner skip over them, custom burning software is needed for this task.

Weak CD sectors may be dumped in scrambled mode (which depends on your drive).

Final conclusion: skip these discs roll

  • Added RING OFFSET field to preserve each master's offset value

A note to moderators: please don't append the offset value to ring entries (such as psx for example) if the combination of "Mastering Code (Ringcode)" and "Mastering SID code" fields contain gaps (are missing).

How do I dump a blu-ray disc

You will probably have to unlock the video first, before dumping it with isobuster and the method Nakian used to dump his ps3 game discs! It is the same way he used to dump dvd-videos, just in this case he has to use the bluray drive he used to dump the ps3 games. Follow the link i posted in the first reply.

Before, when adding a new dump or when disc entry has been edited,
dumper(s) became image owner by default, this now has been improved.

The dumper is now being added as dumper only!
If you want to mark your dump as in your own you have to
change the status manually by clicking the change button.

I hope all dumpers will agree on this improvement
as it was annoying for some of us.

thank you, what about the one on top?

I noticed now that they have different region numbers 2/3, that's it! smile

you are using a pioneer drive, they can't handle those special discs by sony.

so, everything solved by yourself? you're good boy wink

Adding CCD file descriptor is needed when adding subchannels to the base.

I think F1ReB4LL has all the main details about CCD structure.
We only need to work it out, the rest can be done by the parsers.

The old CUE sheet support and of course split tracks will stay as is.
The only additional feature will be one track dumps (unscrambled + scrambled tracks are also planned).

NOTHING has to be re-dumped as stated by Nexy before!

Dumpers can still do their dumps the old way (cuesheet only) if they have no supported hardware to extract the subs, and/or scrambled dumps.

Don't see any problems there adding subs and ccd  tongue

But it still won't be an ideal format, since it missing lead-in and lead-out areas...

Agree, but we still have some time for this smile

actually you would need to input the start and end sectors, as especially pc discs have often a negative offset, where samsung drive has an RO of +6 only, not sure if it would even overread  wink

It seems to work now, at least i can notice it reads from the drive  tongue

The main problem remains though, reading the last outer edge sectors, where drives have the most problems with, and setting the read speed down will not solve this issue!

Anyway, the real benefit is you have not to wait for the drive now till it fails to try a new attempt! smile

Don't see what you can improve now, the only real solution would be to hack the firmware and let the motor drive an other route!!!  tongue

It seems the drive returns some amount of correct data on each chunk it begins to read (probably the same amount you requested on the first read attempt, i have not looked inside the code now, so just assuming).

The rest of a chunk is most likely generated, as it is created with an ultra speed the real drive would never reach!!! tongue

@tossEAC:
ICE creates a correct output thats for sure!
You would not be able to match tosec stuff otherwise also.
There is nothing to worry about  smile

@jamjam:
tossEAC is right, the newer version (0.41a tested) creates wrong output,
i have not compared what exactly is wrong for now.

Is the same true of "Lite-On SOHD-167T"?

No jamjam, SOHD-167T seems to be limited on the firmware side, it is returning the WRONG sectors in any way!

I guess they locked it for using LBA higher than ~450075 (99:59:74), or 0x6DE1B.
Using a higher LBA numbers leads to interruption and the drive reads wrong sector ranges in some way.

i think the xbox360 disc could be dumped, it was most probably bundled with some periphery or eventually game bundled with hardware, dunno really

p.s. i do have the v1.2 in my own)

It has to do with the earlier NoEDC Sony PSX discs, which had audio tracks included.

There is no extra topic explaining that, but it was explained many times in different topics,
please look around yourself, or maybe somebody can point you directly to an explanation posting.

Edit:

the dumping guide has been changed some months ago,
now you don't have to use the psxt001z --fix option, which was cleaning the last sector.

Most drives extract the last sector without problems, only some drive brands are affected:
- plextors (which can be used in scrambled mode, or after disabling the ECC correction mode)
- pioneer
- and some other manufacturer
