ripping CD with SACD format seems impossible

2006-05-21 Thread Adam Hardy

Cdparanoia rejects one of my CDs. I am pretty sure that it's due to the SACD 
format of the CD. I get this error:




cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001)
(C) 2001 Monty [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Xiphophorus
FreeBSD porting (c) 2003
   Simon 'corecode' Schubert [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/

004: Unable to read table of contents header

Unable to open disc.  Is there an audio CD in the drive?




So I was wondering if there is some kind of persuasive option I can use on the 
cdparanoia command?

Is it a hybrid disc or a pure SACD-only disc? Have you tried playing
it in a normal stand-alone CD- or DVD-player, something *not* capable
of playing SACD?

If it is a pure SACD-only disc: give up. Your CD- or DVD-rom player is
not capable of reading it and AFAIK no PC optical reader is.

If it is a hybrid disc, it is dual-layer: it contains CD-layer and a
DVD-like layer which contains the SACD information. I think CDparanoia
might be confused by the second layer.

Are you trying this with a CD-rom or DVD-rom drive?

Ordinary cd drives can't read SACD. There are some freestanding
cd players that can also play SACD, but I don't know of any pc
drives that can do it. Some SACDs are hybrids and can be read
as a cd (at cd quality). If your disc is one of those it should be
possible to rip it, but I don't know what options, if any, you would
need. Sorry I can't help more than that.

Cheers,
Kelly

it's a dual-layer cd. Should have said, sorry. I'm playing it on a CD-ROM, no DVD functionality.

In that case the drive can't even see the SACD-layer, only the CD
layer. If you *are* able to play the disc on an ordinary CD-player, my
guess would be that the CD-layer is copy-protected by manipulating the
Table-Of-Content. I have no idea how to solve that on a
Linux-machine sorry.

(Windows: Exact Audio Copy can rip that disc)
