Rip status error

Re: Rip status error

Very old thread but it had the answer. I turned off C2 pointers and it's rolling! Very surprisingly quickly. I have a LG drive as well as eaglescout1998. Technical Details show support for C2, test CDs show it, but it would grind through the 60 re-reads (up from the default 34 because I thought C2 was supported...) immediately after starting and then Error out on each track.

It now takes seconds to rip each track with Accurate 8 on all tracks on the same CD. Secure and Ultra Secure enabled. It was recently bought. Another CD I bought in 2002 said Accurate 5555455 and then AR 9 / Secure on track 8. Because it's dirtier? This and quite a few of my other CDs have mould spots on them from living in moist areas. Now I just need a good way to clean CDs....

Re: Rip status error

Thanks mrspoonsi. Are you suggesting I disable Ultra Secure then?

The nice thing about ultrasecure is that it FIRST uses accuraterip and if you get a match with that it completes without the extra passes, etc.

Thanks mrspoonsi. Are you suggesting I disable Ultra Secure then?

Do I understand correctly that all this is just to do with errors caused by faulty discs and has no effect on sound quality?

Re: Rip status error

My LG drive exhibits the same behavior.

Re: Rip status error

You can rely on AccurateRip more than c2 pointers and Ultra Secure, normally most rips (98%) would not have an error.

I'm new to all this and have been reading through the setup guide to try to configure things as they should be. I ran the C2 support test and it said errors had been detected and switched on the C2 Error Pointers option. However, when I then did a rip it was giving a status error on every track. So I switched C2 error pointers off and now it works fine. I guess this means my drive does not support this, even though it seemed to?

Anyway, should I now leave Ultra Secure enabled with the settings recommended for non support of C2 pointers?

Thanks for the help.
