I have asked this question before but I am still confused so I will reform the question and ask again. I am trying to understand what exactly the extraction log is telling me. So, to form the question as accurately as possible (and therefore hopefully elicit the answers I need) I will split the question into two parts.
The first part:
Defining the meaning of the various possible results.
1. Accurate (confidence n):
This means that the AccurateRip CRC calculated from the extracted audio of this track matches with (n) entries for this same track in the AccurateRip database.
2. Inaccurate (confidence n):
This means that the AccurateRip CRC calculated from the extracted audio of this track does not match with (n) entries for this same track in the AccurateRip database.
3. Secure:
This means that the track did not match the AccurateRip database entry (or there was no entry) for this track. However, there were no errors found during the extraction process and the CRC calculated from the extracted audio from 2 passes did match.
4. Secure (warning):
This means that the track did not match the AccurateRip database entry (or there was no entry) for this track and there were errors found during at least one pass of the extraction process. However, the CRC calculated from the extracted audio from 2 passes did match.
5. Insecure:
This means that the track did not match the AccurateRip database entry (or there was no entry) for this track and the CRC calculated from the extracted audio from N (where n = the number of passes defined in the ultra settings) passes did produce at least 1 match.
Lastly, any of these result designations can be augmented by a re-rip requirement. Which simply means that the result stated was reached after attempting to re-rip some number of individual frames.
The questions for this first part are:
1) Are the descriptions of result designations given above correct?
2) Are the descriptions complete (are there other possible results)?
The second part:
Here my question has to do with the “Pass” portion of the extraction log. I simply do not understand this information.
Here are some examples of extraction log entries (these are all from a single log file):
1)
To me it is obvious that what is being reported is that the extraction achieved the stated result (Accurate) in a single pass.
2)
To me this means that it took 2 passes to achieve an accurate result.
3)
To me this also means that it took 2 passes to achieve an accurate result
4)
Although I can see that this track is inaccurate and insecure after re-ripping 47 frames. However, I have no idea what is being reported as to the number of passes.
5)
Again I can see that the track is accurate after re-ripping 8 frames but how did it get there and why?
The following examples are taken from different log files.
6)
Obviously the track is secure but was it completed in 2 passes or 4 (2 regular plus 2 ultra)?
7)
How many passes were actually done here?
8)
This entry is from the same log as the entry above. Why only 3 ultra passes above and here we have 4?
Thanks in advance for helping me to understand this output.

Here are some examples of extraction log entries (these are all from a single log file):
1)
AccurateRip: Accurate (confidence 12) [Pass 1]
2)
AccurateRip: Accurate (confidence 12) [Pass 1 & 2]
3)
AccurateRip: Accurate (confidence 12) [Pass 1 & 2, Cross-Check Match ]
4)
AccurateRip: Inaccurate (confidence 12) Insecure [Pass 1 & 2, Ultra 1 to 6, Re-Rip 47 Frames]
5)
AccurateRip: Accurate (confidence 12) [Pass 1 & 2, Ultra 1 to 4, Re-Rip 8 Frames]
The following examples are taken from different log files.
6)
Secure [Pass 1 & 2, Ultra 1 to 2]
7)
AccurateRip: Inaccurate (confidence 61) Secure (Warning) [Pass 1 & 2, Ultra 1 to 3, Re-Rip 11 Frames]
8)
AccurateRip: Inaccurate (confidence 61) Secure (Warning) [Pass 1 & 2, Ultra 1 to 4, Re-Rip 130 Frames]
Thanks in advance for helping me to understand this output.
