I tend to trust EAC over accurateRip, but in your case 'copy OK' is virtually meaningless. It means no c2 errors were reported, but the MATSHITAUJ-840D may not be any good at reporting them. A better method of using EAC as a secure ripper (with an unknown quality drive) is to check the box that says 'drive caches audio', and uncheck the 'c2' box, so that EAC doesn't listen for the drive to report an error. Instead, it reads each sector twice and when it encounters a non-match it keeps re-reading until the reads do match. If the drive is known to be good at reporting c2, then that can speed up the secure mode ripping a lot. Of course letting EAC chug away on a scratched disc can be bad for the drive, so you can specify the amount of error correction it will do. I think mine is set to use two bars of error correction, then move to the next track. Afterwards, I use a different mode in EAC on the track with errors. In the end, I realized that secure mode is not as good as burst mode for scratched discs. When I get the read or synch error in secure mode, I switch to burst mode, and do a test and copy. Burst mode is fabulous at pleasing accurateRip, which makes me wonder what kind of settings all the people who set the accuracy benchmark were using. Since I don't have the scissor sisters album, I was wondering if you'd try the secure mode settings I mentioned, and also burst mode using test AND copy, to see what accurateRip has to say about that. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34402 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
