    Secure rip settings question

    I'm interested in what happy medium I can set these to. I want something close to 90 - 99% in accuracy for damaged CDs, but I don't want my DVD player/ripper to stay on for days at a time eventually shortening the life of it by burning the thing out. Replacing them can get expensive and I don't think any CD is worth that much.

    Any suggestions on how you all have it set up?

    In the ultrasecure rip settings, one can put a limit on how many frames to retry and/or how much time to spend before stopping rip attempt.

    Yeah, those settings are different from the default.

    So you limit Secure Rip to 60 minutes? Those have given you the best results for damaged CDs in the past?

    the 60 minute limit doesn't make damaged disks rip better. The 60 minutes is just to make the attempt end. Frankly, I rarely let a track rip attempt go on for 60 minutes (but if I started a rip then went to bed, I wouldn't want it going on ripping all night long!). I'd probably stop most after 20 minutes if I was sitting in front of the computer. The best approach to ripping a hard to rip disk for me is to (1) clean the disk and if that doesn't work then (2) try with another drive. I have 4 different drives I can use. Sometimes a CD is a problem with one drive but rips perfectly with AR match on another drive. These drives are not anything special. Just random cheap drives. I doubt any of them cost more than $25 new and a couple were just salvaged from old PCs that were going to the trash heap.
