Thank you for the new version.
Karr Wang- I
really like the indication of the reading speed. Unfortunately, the bug in detecting the disc size is still present, so I'll stay with 1.1.14 for the time being.
I prepared the rest of this post before finding out about the new version. 1.1.17 seems to behave like 1.1.14 at max scan speed. The speed shown in this case is a house number (5496?? x).
I wanted to examine the critical part of an audio CD (not CDR) that shows C2 errors when scanned at max. speed. I tried to select just a portion of the disk (from ca. 50-55 min., total 57:33) with KProbe to save time, and ran into problems.
Scanning at max. was not possible in Version 1.1.16 or any of the earlier versions I still had:
- 1.1.12 and earlier showed "031100 Unrecovered read error"
- 1.1.14 at max scan speed: scans at ca. 1-2x, dies quietly at 8-10 min.
- 1.1.16 at max scan speed: like 1.1.14 but dies with protection exception
- 1.1.16 at 8x scan speed: scans at 8x, starts at start of disk, stops at chosen end time (55 min.)
I made a screen shot of the this last case after ca. 18 min. were scanned. This is far enough into the disk that it's certain that the absolute disk time (and not a delta from the start position) is being shown. Note the portion scanned (-633% !!!!). This value is based on 0-100% = 50-55 min.
I guess this is not a terrible problem- normally we
do want to scan an entire disk.
Another question- how is the "Disk Identification" (e.g. 0001C662h) determined that is shown on the information panel?
