    Could not wait. With the HP DVD 400c in secure mode (once) and burst mode (once), I could not see any sync errors reported. I know I've seen sync errors in the past with EAC and other CDs.

    I had forgotten another burst result, so at last count on HP DVD 400c :

    Burst mode : 6 rips with confidence 10
    Secure mode (+cache -c2) : 6 rips with confidence 4

    Have fun...

    I fully agree, but IMHO we don't have sufficient info to know if the two issues are related or not.

    My point is that we should look in the AR database to see what kind of information we can get about the 10 and the 4 matching rips to see if we can confirm or infirm our current hypothesis. I would expect this info to be very interesting, as thhose other rips introduce more diversity.

    We may want to make a call for testers on Hydrogenaudio to try to enlarge the test base. Could we track the authors of the rips in the database ? We don't have the source code to inspect, so the only thing we can do is to treat it as a black box and make more elaborate and diverse tests.

    Yes. I don't fully understand what different about burst mode and secure mode in EAC, what I know is that in all my drives, burst mode is 2 or 3 times faster than secure, even on drives with no cache and C2 pointers. So, I expect something is different. The code path in EAC is different, and the code path in the drive firmware *may* be different, but I don't have enough knowledge here.

    When I'm back home, I'll try burst and no C2 on the Lite-On. I'll try secure with the PX-230A. I don't know what to try on the Samsung.

    Once again, you totally lost me, but that was probably not for me.

    Thanks again...

    I expect that you have full access to the database. Would it be possible for you to verify what were the setup of the 10 and the 4 people ? What software they where using, which settings and which drives ? I know that you at least have info about the drives in the database.

    Re: Peculiar AcurateRip result

    Hi again,

    I started scratching my head, and wondered what was the difference between EAC and dBpowerAmp. One of the biggies is that dBpowerAmp does its first rip in burst mode, whereas I configured EAC to use Secure mode.

    What about EAC in burst mode ? Let's try on the HP DVD 400c.

    Confidence 10 ! Interesting.

    I did a total of 4 rips in burst mode with the HP DVD 400c (including the above), and all of them returned confidence 10. The fourth and last rip is below.

    So, Geynol was (again) on something when he suggested me to try EAC without C2. The HP DVD 400c does not have C2 reporting (like all BenQ drives), so I can not try that here.

    Also, remember that my PX-230A was in burst mode. It was an configuration error on my part, but without it I would probably would have missed this problem entirely. Probably it should stay in burst mode.

    Finally, we have still not yet determined which version of the track is the "most correct" one, but I'll work on that soon.

    Have fun...

    Re: Peculiar AcurateRip result

    Hi again,

    Now, of course, we want to know how EAC compare on the same setup.

    While I was setting up and configuring dBpoweramp, I did a rip with EAC on the cd16. The rip took around 1h30, including two cooling periods of 10min.

    This drive is usually pretty fast, but is bad on scratches. I basically retried every single block on the last third of the song.

    Let's move to the HP DVD 400c. Remember that I already ripped on that drive (it was the very first rip I did), and that I found confidence 4 back then. Let's try another rip.

    Confidence 4 again !

    I did a total of 4 rips on that drive today (so 5 if we include the very first one), and every single one of them is showing confidence 4. This is my fourth and last rip.

    Re: Peculiar AcurateRip result

    Hi all,

    I've got some interesting new information. But let's start with a raw dump of data, as people may always find bits in there that I may have missed.

    I decided to try a few rips at work. My work PC is different, single P4 instead of dual, different drives, different EAC version, same XP-SP2 though. I installed dBpowerAmp R12.4 on this box.

    I plugged in my old HP cd16 (a LG GCE-8160B clone) that I was considering for ripping a while ago, before discovering that it was not good enough.

    The other drive is the HP DVD 400c (a BenQ dw800a clone) that you have seen in action earlier.

    I launched a first rip with the cd16 and dbpower amp and went for luch. When I came back from luch, the PC was dead. No BSOD, just black screen. After a reboot, I was able to get the following log :

    To be fair to EAC (and if you have the inclanation), rip 6 times in dBpoweramp with the c2 off and check that it never show the confidence 4 on the liteon.

    Hmm...is the issue that the bad (but matching) rips are being submitted from EAC, not dbpa?

    We are seeing a CD with errors right at the end of the track, the occasion when dBpoweramp failed to rip the track:

    Track 17: Ripped LBA 322181 to 340190 (4:00) in 0:46. Filename: F:\Music-dBamp\Simple Minds\Simple Minds - The Best of Simple Minds Disc 1 - 17 - I Travel.flac

    Yes the error got past c2 pointer, and was consistant on 5 passes! perhaps c3 is not great on the Lite-on. Those frames which were re-ripped, they might not have been the ones that had the error.

    For you to debug the EAC issue, if you can supply 2 wave files to Andre, one with the confidence 10 the other confidence 4, looking at the data he might know what is happening. This is an issue that needs looking into (as 4 other people had the same issue, and must be using EAC).

    Re: Peculiar AcurateRip result

    Hi Jean, Spoon, Brendan, Eli and whoever else I know from Hydrogenaudio and/or Digital-Inn.

    This situation with EAC is pretty interesting. I'm curious to know what happens when you disable C2 pointers in EAC. When this is done, EAC will ask the drive to access different points within a track. It might also be worthwhile to try the rip in burst mode. Maybe one of these changes will make a difference(?).

    Quick explanation (hopefully):
    [size=1]Without C2 pointers, EAC reads 27 sectors at a time until 2MB is read and then goes back and does it again. The next pair of 2MB sets will begin with the last 2 sectors of the previous pair for synchronization purposes. With C2 pointers, EAC reads 24 sectors at a time until 2MB is read and then moves on to the next set of 2MB beginning with the last 2 sectors (again for synchronization purposes). If cache flushing is enabled, EAC will read another 2MB prior to moving on to the next 2MB in order to make sure the 2 sectors used for synchronization are read from the disc (with or without the use of C2 pointers).[/size]

    My limited understanding of dBpoweramp is that all passes (including ultra-secure) are done in burst mode and that no additional synchronization is used.

    Lastly, I am concerned that dBpa is telling you that bad rips are secure when using C2 pointers with your Lite-On. This implies that you're getting consistent errors which are not being dropped by C2 pointers. It should not be behaving this way. I was also going to add that it should be safe to increase the maximum number of re-reads when using C2 pointers, but now have reservations in light this issue.

    Hi again,

    I know that the error comes and go, so I decided to do a few more rips with EAC to see if I could get it to reproduce.

    Ok, Confidence 10, I like it. So the Lite-On is capable of getting the right track with EAC after all.

    Let's try another rip...

    Ouch ! Confidence 4 again.

    dBPowerAmp : 14 rips, never happens
    EAC : 3 rips, happen twice.

    Hmm... Interesting. I think I've now changed my mind about what's could be the cause here. You guys were definitely right to push me around ;-)

    I guess we need to get Andre to comment on the subject.

    Good night everybody...

    Re: Peculiar AcurateRip result

    Hi again,

    I managed to get dBpoweramp installed and configured. Note that I disabled FUA as I read somewhere that the the Lite-On did not work with FUA.

    I did 11 rips before a set of EAC rips and 2 after. That's a huge set of logs, so I'll pick a few...

    Very first rip.

    Ok, we can't always get a secure rip but at least we know there is an error.

    All the other rips alternate between those 3 cases :

    I had :
    no-error, confidence 10 : 1,6,9,14
    errors, confidence 10 : 2,5,7,8,10,11,12,13
    errors, innacurate : 3,4

    The CRC in rip 3 and 4 are differents. The number of errors is different, rip 5 has 9 re-rips. But at least, I did not see the dreaded "confidence 4".

    Ok, I'll call that a success.

    I think we should blacklist all drives except for the Plextor PX-230A.

    I've seen undetected errors with my Lite-On and my Samsung, so we should ban all Mediatek based drives, which means all Lite-On/Samsung/ASUS. I've seen this type of errors with my old BenQ and my old LG, so we should ban all BenQ (except the PX-230A) and all LG. Pioneer don't report C2, so we should ban that as well. What's left ?

    Seriously, I think the situation is not as bad as it looks. By looking at the AR log, it's obvious when this happens. Also, in 99% of cases, my Lite-On gives proper results. You want as many tracks as possible in the AR database. And I think we may be able to narrow down when this happens.

    Have fun...
