Discussion of dMC R13

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

I've just installed the latest version of R13 (5th Dec) and seem to have a problem with it detecting my physical DVD drive (a Samsung SH-S203B). I think it may be related to having Alcohol 120% (v1.9.7.6022) installed since dBPowerAmp can detect the virtual drive without any problems but when I disable it, dBPowerAmp cannot find any drives at all since the real DVD drive isn't shown in the list.

dBPowerAmp Reference v12.4 works fine however even when the virtual drive is enabled.

I suggest reporting the bug to the alcohol folks, since a fix will most likely come from their camp.

What version of Windows are you using? Are you running as an Administrator? Try going into Options and changing the CD Communication setting to "Windows Internal" instead of "SCSI Pass-Through".

May or June.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Can you give a rough estimate when R13 will be released? In 2 weeks, 4 months, 3 years? I’m interested in ripping HTOA. I would like to buy R13 Reference soon with the other planned features added later.

Re: Settings for one drive vs. all drives (was Re: Discussion of dMC R13)

I was thinking of changing the color of the drive specific items.

I think that would be a "good-enough" first step for now.

Settings for one drive vs. all drives (was Re: Discussion of dMC R13)

Spoon -

In the CD Ripper (CDGrab.exe) Options dialog, I find that one has to be very familiar with which settings in the dialog are specific to the particular drive currently selected and which settings apply to all drives.

e.g. All drives:

Ripping Method and children (except portions of the Secure Settings as outlined below)

AccurateRip Enabled/Disable (though the configuration itself is associated with a specific drive)

CD ROM (except for the drive description, technical info and sample offset...I think...maybe more)

e.g. Each drive

Portions of the Secure Ripping subdialog: Read cache, Clear cache, C2 Pointers.

AccurateRip configuration (of course)

Sample Offset (usually derived from above)

...

Would it be possible (or agreeable or useful?) to take a look at the way the information is presented there and, perhaps, break it down into the general options vs. the drive specific options?

Alternately, perhaps there's a batch-ripping "profile" way to present the same information, perhaps through the batch ripper or batch ripper configuration?

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Reference users: install over the top of reference version, will remain Reference until December.

Sorry. What exactly does that mean? "Will remain Reference until December"?

Thanks.

CDRipper >> Options >> Secure Settings, delete all the text in the path box and let it default.

CD Ripper: Possible to write secure ripping log to ripping folder when using the multi-encoder


This is great but it isn't intuitive to me how to do this. Help as always is appreciated.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

I think you are right about the hard drive having a problem waiting to happen.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Your system ran out of memory, It is not recommended rip as one be used with secure as each pass needs to store in memory.

It is possible the first Hard Disk had a problem waiting to happen, and windows expanding the swap file has found this problem.

Re: Discussion of dMC R13

Something strange happened today when I tried dMC R13 and Rip as One for the first time. I will try to explain the best I can.

Installed R13 over the top of my registered power pack version 12.3. The first CD I ripped was Boston's "Walk On" with the secure setting. After the 2nd pass the ripping stopped at 99% and I could hear the hard drive racing. After about 1 minute or so of this, and the 2nd pass still at 99% I figured something was wrong. DMC would not respond to any attempts to stop the rip or to close. I soon got an error msg from Vista that the program was not responding. I tried to stop it via Windows but no response, the hard drive was still racing. I finally had to power off the pc, but by this time I guess it was too late. When I tried to start the computer it would not boot, I would only get a BSOD. Tried reinstalling Vista from the DVD and the install would freeze on the disk.sys file. Tried the install a second time, same thing. I had another IDE hard drive I was going to make into an external HD laying around so I tried to install Vista on it, no problems. I have come to the conclusion the original HD is damaged.

Any suggestions as to what may have happened?
