LBA problem on last track

[geekgal]

Overall, great job on the new program. Lots of new, useful features.

I've seen this in other threads but I haven't seen a solution yet. On the last track on some CDs (they are new and unscratched) the length and start/end LBA for the last track are way off and ripping (FLAC) is unsuccessful. The nonbeta version detected errors on these disks and fixed them, with a correct (sounds fine anyway) Rip. Not sure if it's relevant, but all 4 of the CDs that I know for sure do this are marked as "enhanced" and I can't find any that work correctly marked that way.

I'm using Liteon DVD RW drives, dBpowerAMP r12b4. I've got Ultra Secure set up with C2 apparently working fine. I have Read Lead-in or Lead-Out checked with Communication set to SCSI Pass through (SPT).

For example: One CD track 10 (last) shows length: 397:16:26, Start LBA: 185555, End LBA: 75346.

It does this for all enhanced cds? or one or two? are you sure the cds are not copy protected?

Re: LBA problem on last track

So far I've only tried 4 enhanced CDs and all of them have had the problem. No other CDs have. It may be copy protection, not sure. But they worked with the old version of dBpowerAMP.

Re: LBA problem on last track

Probably not important, but: do these CDs have a data track and, if so, is it at the beginning or end?

geek:

Run dBpowerAMP Configuration and switch on debugging.

Start CD Ripper, insert one of those cds and press refresh. Exit CD Ripper and paste the debug log here please.

Re: LBA problem on last track

What is the cd drive, by the looks of it that drive is returing different values for LBA and MSF (the lead out MSF is different for LBA and MSF, the MSF looks better as it is closer to the end, but is still wrong, dBpowerAMP uses LBA). Perhaps a drive firmware update.

Re: LBA problem on last track

It's a LiteOn DVD RW drive. We checked on the firmware version before I posted and it's up to date.

Re: LBA problem on last track

What do other rippers do (well Media player always gets enhanced cd lenghts wrong, check it against a normal cd player)? it is not good if the drive is returning different values for MSF and LBA, they should be identical.
