Secure Ripper Test (part 2 concise results)

Reply #175
New update:

EAC v.09 beta 4 (using that because it's whats recommended by ubernet.org, among other reasons)

EAC vs dBpowerAMP with a significantly damaged CD (comparing two different drives to illustrate what I believe  indicates a need to further refine, tweak, optimize the error correction algorithm/mechanisms with dBpowerAMP.

This info is an extension to my previous post above this one.

-usefua is used here by the way, that is why the drive cache is disabled in EAC, C2 is disabled because this version of EAC does not recognize the 716A as having C2.

End of status report

If you look closely and notice, all the CRC's match exactly as extracted from EAC with the internal Plextor drive as they do with the LITE-ON drive with dBpowerAMP, EXCEPT FOR ONE --the most heavily damaged track --track 9.  Note these differences:

  Track  9
  Filename K:\DBPWRAMP_EXT_AUDIO\Bass Quake_EAC_716_SATA\Fool 4 Da Bass.wav

  Peak level 72.7 %
  Track quality 99.8 %
  Test CRC 00322FB1
  Copy CRC 39878FCE

Notice even here EAC FAILS to produce a copy CRC that MATCHES the TEST CRC

Now track 9 from the LITE-ON with dBpowerAMP:

Track 9:  Ripped LBA 139525 to 155282 (3:30) in 0:12. Filename: K:\DBPWRAMP_EXT_AUDIO\Bass Quake\Bass Quake - Bass After Shock - 09 - Fool 4 da Bass.wav
  Secure  [Pass 1, Ultra 1 to 1]
  CRC32: 00322FB1

  Copy OK

Notice something VERY interesting here, dBpowerAMP with the Lite-On drive produced the exact same CRC as the TEST CRC of the same track with the Plextor extracted with EAC (the full settings are indicated in the previous post for each drive).

Upon comparing the WAV files within EAC here are the results:

Lite-On extraction of track 9 with dBpowerAMP R12 A7 with c2 and Plextools (PX-716) extraction of the same damaged disc
(using level 5 error correction)

ALL SAMPLES ARE THE SAME, NO DIFFERENCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EAC Extraction vs. PX-716 Plextools Extraction Track 9
error type                  Position                                    (repeated again on right side in EAC)
different samples        0:00:37.816 - 0:00:37.823


EAC Extraction vs. Lite-On extraction (dBpowerAMP R12 A7 C2) Track 9
error type                  Position                                    (repeated again on right side in EAC)
different samples        0:00:37.816 - 0:00:37.823

[This leads me to believe that dBpowerAMP with the Lite-On drive with C2 is working perfectly, as it matches every file (with comparing wavs) with PX-716 extracted with Plextools.  Also, this is reinforced by the fact that the Lite-On dBpowerAMP extraction, as well as the Plextools PX-716 extraction, both DIFFER AND SHOW THE EXACT SAME ERROR IN SAMPLES POSITION RELATIVE TO THE EAC EXTRACTION.

Note again: all other CRC's of the tracks of this purposely damaged disc match between programs, and the Plextools extraction wav's all show no differences in samples whatsoever with the dBpowerAMP extraction with the Lite-ON

This reveals two things to me:  1) It illustrates that dBpowerAMP definitely HAS potential to be 100% accurate with some research into heavily analyzing and testing it further as it develops.

2) It illustrates that Plextools is also well designed and is capable of allowing a Plextor drive to read extremely heavily scratched CD's and still get the data extracted without errors in the files.

3)  It illustrates that there is a relatively high degree of agreement between all three programs, and this kind of comparative analysis should be helpful in finding out what can be done to optimize dBpowerAMP so that it is always deadly accurate, with any good, capable drive.

Yes Ideally I should have used a disc that was in the AR database, but I wasn't willing to sacrifice something that I actually listen to that is popular for the purposes of these tests.

--This track errored out in dBpowerAMP, and resulted in only a 44Kb file being written to the drive (should have been many MB in size.  NOTICE however, that the same CRC was generated as with the Lite-ON, as well as from the EAC TEST extraction (not the EAC Copy extraction, oddly enough), even though the track failed to extract.

All correctly extracted tracks played back fine without any noticeable distortion, clicks, pops, skips of any kind whatsoever, including the successful extractions of track 9 where applicable.

Looking at the logs quickly, these frames stand out, external plextor:

    Re-rip Frame: 145942 (00:01:25.560). Insecure  (c2 dropped 691) [c2 best match]

Internal Plextor:

    Re-rip Frame: 145942 (00:01:25.560) matched 10 / 12  (c2 dropped 331)

External Plextor:

    Re-rip Frame: 141780 (00:00:30.066) matched 10 / 12  (c2 dropped 165)

Internal Plextor:

    Re-rip Frame: 141780 (00:00:30.066). Insecure  (c2 dropped 700)

I would run a test on the same cd with FUA not used, just try the correct cache amount set, to be sure. The Lite-on seems to outperform both Plextor 716s by a huge margine (not a single frame required to be re-ripeed)...

@ David Lytham

Looking at your log, no errors were detected so there is no reporting, find yourself a very scratched cd and you will seem a full log

You were correct, I didn't have the cache detected (I didn't think it mattered since I had the FUA option enabled, but apparently it does.  Here is the Bass Quake extraction log of the PX-716UF with the cache detected as well as FUA disabled  Also, oddly enough I noticed that the cache detection is THE ONLY thing that is important (to be used *before* testing for FUA compatability).  You can have the actual cache detected properly, and then turn on the use FUA option if it shows that the drive supports it, and it will still work just fine.

I'm not sure if enabling FUA does anything with the cache having a number other than 0 in it?.  I also did a separate rip with FUA enabled of this entire disc, it resulted in exactly the same results with no re-reads needed at all.

By the way Spoon, question:

How could track 15 from the Lite-On log match the Accuraterip database as well as the CRC's from EAC and from the flawless rip of the Plextor when it had these two lines of code in the log?:

Two possibilities - the c2 is reporting an error which is not there (very possible), or the frame might be silence audio, which it just happened to return (not overly likely).

If I have things right, enablng FUA on your 716 makes it rip with lots of c2 errors, disabling it and it rips ok? (the cache value is not used with FUA, so 0 should be ok).

This makes me wonder... do you mark frames as bad which reported c2 (probably corrected) or cu (uncorrected)?

From the MMC3 specs:

01b C2 error block data

The C2 error, Pointer bits (2 352 bits or 294 bytes) is included in the data stream. There is one bit for each byte in error in the sector (2 352 total). The bit ordering is from the most significant bit to the least significant bit in each byte. The first bytes in the sector are the first
bits/bytes in the data stream.

c2 has two ways of failling, by missing an error completely, or to flag an error which is not there.

I guess these include "probably corrected" c2 errors then... Sorry, I don't know much about how the drive sends its data to the PC, but I know how the error correction works. I think TrueAudio's drive was able to correct the errors at the c2 stage, but still flagged them every time because a c2 correction was necessary.

spath might jump in here, it might be implemented differently between drives (heck c2 is far from uniform across drives, I am getting reports from some drives that readcd with LBA will not work with c2, where as readcd MSF with c2 does work), I would have thought correctable ones would not be flagged.

Not entirely correct.  Here is the exact breakdown:

I.  If you have FUA support enabled BEFORE you have done the cache detection (i.e. cache says NONE; this is the exact scenario that causes the drive to have to re-read, and results in it completely FAILING to extract in some cases as seen here again --note, even though it calculates the correct CRC, the resulting extracted file is **unplayable** (i.e. unrecognizable by both EAC "process WAV", as well as Foobar 2000) and is only 44 KILOBYTES in size)  it also is marked with a red 'X' with the word "fail" (NOT "i" secure) next to that track in dBpowerAMP.

II.  If cache detection is done BEFORE FUA is checked (enabled), and the resulting cache size of the PX-716 is detected, it will then extract perfectly with NO re-reads, and matching CRC's, also as long as the cache was detected beforehand, it then subsequently does not matter to the drive in terms of whether FUA is enabled or disabled, either way it will properly extract, ***IT IS ONLY WHEN THE CACHE WAS NOT TESTED FOR, THAT FUA WILL CAUSE THE DRIVE TO FREAK OUT ON CERTAIN TRACKS***.  Proof is provided by the following 2 logs:  note FUA enabled in 1 and disabled in the other --makes no difference, as long as the cache is detected and displayed.  This is why I was asking you if FUA still WORKED when the cache displays a number other than zero.  Because if it does, then why the hell would it error out if you never detected the cache in the first place and left it at "NONE", when FUA invalidates the cache anyways?  It makes absolutely no sense to me other than to suggest that the software is bugged in some manner when interacting with the PX-716 drives (It does this with all of them, not just 1, so it isn't a drive issue).

To word this another way:  Why does either the combination of the Plextor PX-716 drive and dBpowerAMP *CARE* whether or not the cache was detected and displayed in the field with 1173KB in order to work properly?  When it is 100% fact, and well known that these drives support Force Unit Access (as that is the underlying reason for the speed capabilities of Plextools Pro), and FUA disables the cache anyways?

Fyi

I forgot to add that the C2 errors generated when FUA is enabled without having had first detected the cache only occur on problematic tracks/hard to read/scratched disks etc.  Note this log here from before where the entire disc extracted fine but the cache was never set (had this disc had enough scratches it would have resulted in massive re-rip attempts, but even this would have been fixed, had it occurred, if I detected the cache beforehand  --lol.

10 Tracks Ripped Accurately

I notice your rips are all on different days, I am thinking if you were to rip again with FUA and 0kb cache then it would be ok (the code for FUA or cache invalidation is only called if a re-read is needed), on your good rips there are no re-reads needed, hence that would never be called if the drive was working correctly. Also the code for FUA invalidation does not use a cache size, and the cache size is never used if FUA is used.

A friend of mine is having trouble with the cache and FUA settings and his PX-760A, but this might not have anything to do with spoon's program.

As a follow-up, this problem went away once SPTD was removed from his sytem.

spath might jump in here, it might be implemented differently between drives (heck c2 is far from uniform across drives, I am getting reports from some drives that readcd with LBA will not work with c2, where as readcd MSF with c2 does work), I would have thought correctable ones would not be flagged.

Unfortunately manufacturers have different (at least 3) meanings for their C2 flags, probably
because the MMC specs are not clear enough. The correct definition of these flags is in the
Red Book : it should be calculated based on information coming from both C1 and C2 stages
and it should mark bytes which are wrong _after_ C2 correction, so that the flags can be used
for error concealment. However, even when this calculation is correctly done by the drive,
often some correct bytes will be flagged as wrong due to the CIRC structure (much more often
than an actual error which would not be flagged).

What does this warning mean? The log is from a brand new UB40 CD that I have just ripped, all tracks ripped securely apart from this one. I know it means it had to re-rip 6 frames but does this mean I can still treat it as a secure rip?

It was a warning that frames had to be re-ripped, having a detailed log will show the details of those frames.

I do have R12 set to detailed logging.

Below is the log from the CD in which the warning appeared. I can only see the log if I go into the "Extraction Logs" folder where they are saved as .txt files after ripping. A log dosen't appear after ripping even though I have the "add to information log (shown after ripping)" enabled.

Sorry I meant the 'complete' setting. Anyhow, it is just a warning because a re-rip was required, if it was an error that got through it would have got past your C2 and re-rip (4 times with ultra), so very unlikely.

Thanks for clearing that up Spoon 

I understand what you mean now. Basically the log will report if there was an un-recoverable error, in this case the audio was extracted accurately. The log was just telling me that the frame had to be re-ripped but extracted OK.

Q1: Hi, sorry if i'm incompetent and don't know how to configure this right or if it's really like this... but is there a way to configure offset manually? In the option panel for the sample offset, i only see (accuraterip find) and a reset to zero button. Maybe this option isn't available, but then there are users out there (i'm thinking international users) who don't have those "popular" CDs that might be in the database, we'd like to be able to use the default value of the drive, since that's given at http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm anyways.

Q2: I installed the generic CLI, ran the GenCLICreator.exe to add a commandline encoder, and added it. But then nothing changed in dbpoweramp cd ripper. Where is the encoder supposed to show up?
"The Shown Name is the title that dMC will use in its right click menu" is what's written in the tutorial, but what right click menu? I right click inside dmc cd ripper and nothing of such appear.

Q3: Will there be a standalone execute version (one that you don't have to install) like EAC has a zip file with the program all there. It'd be nice for people who cary the app on a memory stick with them and rip with whatever computer they come accross.

Thanks.

Only AccurateRip can configure the offset. People from all around the world contribute to the database so popular cds from any culture should be in (and you will just need 1 cd if it matches the one already in the database).

Generic CLI is for the R11.5 (from Codec Central), not compatible with R12 (where you downloaded R12 there is an CLI Encoder).

Q3, it would run from a memory stick - install it to the memory stick, but you wouldn't have offsets configured.
