Gregory,
while using the "Verify, then encode" mode with a 100% and confidence>=1 parameters, I experienced the following behaviour:
Even though the file's offset didn't match with AR's DB, it got encoded anyway.
To me, the main purpose of the "verify, then encode" mode is to make sure that all the files that actually get encoded are AR matched, and that includes the offset. For those files who don't fit this criteria, I then revisit the AR log files as well as the EAC logs to determine what is the correct offset to apply.
I suggest you change this mode behaviour.
thanks in advance,
N.
Well, it's functioning as designed. It was made for those users, who don't want to fix offsets.
Also you could use it in conjunction with 'fix offset if' option to automaticly fix offsets.
If you insist on manual offset correction, well, i can add another option to that 'convert only if' block: 'convert only if 100% tracks match with condidence >= 1 and zero offset'.
I'm only worrying that soon that options window will be so huge it won't fit on screen
Well it's not my intention to have a new mode added, because as you pointed out, it will quickly get out of control. What I'm after is maybe an advanced option that can be enabled that may be named something like "Don't consider aditional offsets for AR verification". Obviously this switch should be tied only to the "Encode only if" option.
I also have another bug report for you.
