AccurateRip and CD copies

[POFNerd]

I have maybe 20-30 CD that I made with CD burner programs like Nero and RecordNow from Sonic. When I try to rip them with dBpoweramp CD Ripper I get this kind of status at all the tracks:
(red cross)X AR (19) Secure (checkmark)

When I rip the same CD’s using the original I get the nice little AccurateRip ok symbol.

Does this mean that the CD copying programs did not make at good job or is there some ”catch” when I use a copy instead of the original CD?

Correct, the CD writing program would have to set the right 'write offset'

So you are saying that my files could be ok but some start/stop bits is not ok?

So if I'm looking for a good CD copy program that can make a bitperfect clone of the original - what should I go for?

Does dBpoweramp CD Writer set the right 'write offset'?

CD Writer cannot set a write offset.
