Hello,
Does someone know why does my Plextor 760A seem to be locked to 8x when reading CDs? Did you come across such issue before?

I'm not the original dumper, I only saw the logs. In idlord's case /s 2 didn't help. In one of the logs you output a table describing TOC with pregap and this table is computed using RMSF in SubQ, yes? The problem with the CD is that RMSF in Q channel is bad but not random. For example at some point (say LBA 90000), RMSF is changed to some low value like 00:24:24 and goes up on each frame. After some sectors it restarts again and goes up.
RMSF goes 1 frame up with each sector (it's good) but the value is shifted and it screwes everything...

I checked idlord's logs and the issue is because subchannels are corrupted.
Listing the different protection schemes for the 8 subcoding channels...
Channel P: no protection, Channel Q: 16-bit CRC, Channels R to W:
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]To protect the data in the subcoding channels R to W, a (24, 20) Reed-Solomon error correction code is used. To improve the burst error correction capability, 8 times interleaving is added to this error-correction system. The first two symbols in a PACK have additional protection with a (4, 2) Reed-Solomon error correction code.

Sarami maybe you could take the CRC16 from Sub Q and attempt to detect single bit errors by bit swapping each bit in Sub Q and checking if CRC16 matches (CRC16 could also be corrupted). cdgtool is using such approach to clean the subs for random bit errors. Could you implement this simple algorithm. That could solve issue with such rotting CDs...

Sector 16, offset 320-370 in isobuster.
Newest DIC puts PVD to one of the log files.

So in case of this 1024B sector is DIC going to have support for this?
Sarami: Could you made a commit to git with latest changes? I think I have a DVD that fails to dump and I'd like to debug it...

File system doesn't corrupt, but CD-ROM that "Logical Block Size" isn't 2048 byte is perhaps rare or irregular. So, I think the OS that is newer than WinXP doesn't support it.
Nice find. Also some tools do not support it either (Total Commander) + 7z.

Re: DiscImageCreator (3,526 replies, posted in General discussion)
It's not a bug in DIC. DIC correctly parses the data. It's disc fault. New operating systems do not detect anything on the cd. Only old Windows show the data (I guess those old versions do not handle Path Table records).

Re: DiscImageCreator (3,526 replies, posted in General discussion)
I just had a small morning debugging session and one of the dumpers found a CD which has corrupted Path Table Record. I inspected it under debugger and basically all fields are off. I think Path Table Records related values in PVD are wrong.
Please add an option to disable reading Path Table Record via command line in order to fight such weird CDs...

It could this: http://redump.org/disc/42279/
Also Ring PROTECH cannot be dumped with Plextors.
1) Extract AUDIO using DIC.
2) Extract DATA using OptiARC.
This is the only solution...

Re: DiscImageCreator (3,526 replies, posted in General discussion)
Also I found one bug in CD-Text dumping. In function: SetAndOutputTocCDText -> strlen(pTmpText + uiIdx) crashes. iuIdx has some big value. This only happens with PX760. Other drive reads it correctly. Maybe before parsing those data structures subchannels should be corrected (packed mode read?).

Escaped 0 length.
if (pDirRec[*nDirPosNum].uiDirNameLen > 0) { : : } else { OutputVolDescLogA( "\t Length of Directory Identifier: %u\n", pDirRec[*nDirPosNum].uiDirNameLen); break; }
Is 0 correct value? I want to look the *mainInfo.txt and *volDesc.txt
When I terminate program mainInfo.txt is empty and volDesc has:
========== LBA[000018, 0x00012]: Volume Descriptor ==========
Volume Descriptor Type: 255
Standard Identifier: CD001
Volume Descriptor Version: 1

Re: DiscImageCreator (3,526 replies, posted in General discussion)
Sarami there's a small regression in latest version of DIC. When you specify /rc switch and no protection is detected a warning pops up with message /rc is ignored. For some discs (when protection cannot be detected) this is causing a regression and some sectors are not properly dumped. Please provide a way to override /rc so that it's always active.
