Re: Unable to rip securely
The simple minds disc looks damaged (the 2nd machine shows it has lots of bad frames).
The first machine...try disabling c2 pointers.
Re: Unable to rip securely
Wow, thanks for the prompt response. Tried the same Simple Minds disk in the Imac with C2 pointers switched off; all tracks ripped okay except 4 and 5 which had re-rip errors. I'll try a few more disks and see what happens. Do I lose much by not having C2 pointers switched on?
Re: Unable to rip securely
Not if AccurateRip is able to verify the rip.
Re: Unable to rip securely
So basically we need to disregard the note saying to use C2 pointers even if our drives are capable? I was having the same problem, ripping brand spanking new fresh out the shrink wrap cds, not new release cds, newly purchased older releases, until I disabled the C2 pointers.
Re: Unable to rip securely
There are some drives that report false positives. I have an LG Blu-Ray burner that will not rip some discs until I disable C2.
Re: Unable to rip securely
I figured as much, My drive won't read any disc correctly after I enable c2 pointers, whereas when they're disabled it works fine. I'm wondering now, if maybe the C2 pointers change the reads somehow, compared to the rips currently in the AR database. I've been testing different scenarios with a new Eminem Relapse CD since it has alot of information in the database.
Re: Unable to rip securely
Renesas based drives (+667 in Accuraterip) in SATA format (PATA drives used to work finely) has problems with C2 pointers, they works OK only using single sector transfers, not burst of sectors transfers (dBpoweramp and many other apps rips in bursts). On the other hand, NEC (+48) and Mediatek (+6) based SATA drives works perfectly with C2 pointers enabled.
