What exactly does CD Speed scan disc/quality check measure?
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2003 9:16 pm
I am going to take up Erik Deppe (author of CD Speed and new member at CDRLabs - http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=9191 ) on his kind offer to answer questions about CD Speed.
Erik, there have been a number of questions on CDRLabs regarding exactly what CD Speed measures with its scan disc and CD quality check features. Here is one example of a (somewhat excited) discussion that took place earlier:
http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=8194
If possible, could you please clear up this issue with definitive answers? Also, could you tell us your take on what constitutes C1 and C2 errors? I don't have any problem with the general nature of C1/C2 errors, but pinning down an exact definition of these terms is something I haven't been able to do:
http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic. ... 6820#46820
(The above link is from a discussion about CD Doctor and WSES, but the general nature of the question is the same.)
Finally, there have been rumors that the next version of CD Speed will include the ability to measure C1 and C2 errors (at least on supported drives). Can you confirm or deny this rumor?
Thanks a lot, both for taking the time to answer questions here and for making such nice programs available to us.
