Topic: EAC: Determining sample offset on my CD-R drives?

[fuck you]

Hello,

I need help with EAC.  I plan on selling off some of my MoFi discs but want to back them up with EAC so I can still listen to them.

Here is a problem I have.  I followed the instructions with the EAC program to determine the offset that my CD-ROMs have when distracting CD audio.

The program says I can use the program.  However, a site I vistied a while back says I have to use a carefully cut CD-R to make the process work.

I want to make definitive backups of these discs and really am getting paranoid about offsetting samples.  

Can anyone walk me through the process or provide me with a link to a site that will help out?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for the links.  I will try to do this sometime before the end of the year.

I figure that I could get a few more $$ out of my MoFi discs in mid-Jan. due to X-mas money and the end of New Years Eve events.

What do you think?

+T  (is that how you do it?)  thatnk for the info.  I did the offset thing a couple of hours ago on my CD-r drive and it seem sto work.

I checked and doubel checked.  Thanks for the links.

Tomorrow I will do my DVD-ROM drive and later re-extract all of the discs that I have archived.

Man, this is a bitch.

I am doing everything the tutorial sites are telling me to do.

It is now 2:26 in the morning.  I have been working on getting the offset on the one drive to read zero with no errors all night.   The best I have gotten so far is first track WAVs have 6 repeated samples at the start and the rest have 6 missing samples at the start.

Looks like I will have to set my CD-R burners write offset to "0" instead of"+6" as suggested for my make and model by one of the pages.  However, it still will not give me a perfect clone.  And I am wasting precious Fuji Japans doing it.

The differences between the original store bought Elvis CD > EAC >WAVs and the Elvis CD > EAC > WAV > audio CD-R > EAC > WAVs was 692 samples.  This is the offset of my CD-R drive.

That is the total offset, not the offset for just the ripping.  The offset for the writing has to be figured out, too.

The site says mine is +6 but it looks like 6 is screwing things up for me.

Has anyone had as much trouble getting their offsets corrected as I am?
