Best CD Imaging Program?
Right now I use Alcohol 120% for all my CD copying needs, but something concerns me. When I make a BIN/CUE backup of a mixed mode CD (aka Yellow Book: Data track and Audio Track(s) single session CD), the audio tracks have the first two seconds of the audio cut off. I don't know if the CUE sheet creation in Alcohol 120% is flawed, but I want to make perfect BIN/CUE rips of my copy of Sega CD games (and some PC games).
But I digress from my thread title (not to mention the above is more of a help thread question/rant)... What I'm wondering is what you think the best CD copying program is. As you can see, I'd say Alcohol except for the above problem. I'd like to see what you say the best program is. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
CloneCD worked really well for me when I used it. Between the two, CloneCD was able to duplicate some stuff that Alcohol wasn't able to do. These were software dvds without audio tracks, and a couple of years ago, but those were my results.
There's nowhere I can't reach.

CloneCD would be the best for a simple, raw copy. Other programs try to adjust the results ever so slightly, while CloneCD just copies it.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. Vibrate

Alcohol does indeed have flawed bin/cue engine - the problem is known but the developers appearantly don't give a shit. Use CDRWin or Blindwrite 4 for creating bin/cue dumps.

I was speaking idiomatically. |
So uh, what's stopping you from using MDF/MDS.
Unless you're actually mass dristributing these disc images. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
MDF/MDS images are not supported by Kega Fusion. (EDIT#2)Plus they tend to be larger than BIN/CUE files. EDIT: Considering I want to make a perfect copy of a CD, I am mighty curious if I could extract the data track with a ripping program and then have EAC extract the audio, link the two together, and have as perfect of a copy as possible. EDIT#3: Thanks evilboris, it looks like CDRWin does by far the best job. The only thing it couldn't do is offset correction for the audio tracks, otherwise it was a perfect copy (I verified this by using EAC and comparing the CD image's tracks and that of the real CDs, the tracks were only 12 samples off, my CD-ROM's offset). Blindwrite 4 had missing samples. FELIPE NO

Wark! |
Well i am also using Alcohol 120% for burning CD and DVD. It is a powerful Windows software that makes it easy to create backups of DVDs and CDs. Moreover the program lets you to store your most used CDs as images on your computer. I am using this software from last Three to Four months and i updating its newest version and have no any doubt or confusion against it.
What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Also, are there recommendations for an equivalent software for Linux? Recently I switched from M$ to it, it's much better! Jam it back in, in the dark. |
really? There's nowhere I can't reach. John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.

Fuck it dude, lets go bowling.
Burning on Windows: CDBurnerXP Burning on Linux: K3B (for KDE), Brasero (for Gnome/XFCE), or cdrecord for command line. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
what about magic iso..? I thought that was the best.
