Well, having finally gotten SuSE 10.0 onto my laptop and the 100GB drive (which freed up the 80GB to go in the external chassis), I'm about to start ripping my 400 disc library -- which includes a lot of brands, though only a couple Sound Choice and Music Maestro discs -- so I guess I can A/B compare them, and see what I get. Even a 10% speedup is worth it on 400 discs. :-) > > My drive returns the data interleaved, so I've only ever tested rw_raw > > mode (using the software-deinterleave) hence the note of caution in the > > instructions for rw mode.

I may have to buy a drive; I'm almost certain the DVD-ROM in my Compaq laptop (which is a Toshiba) will *not* reliably read subcode: CDRWIN professes itself unable to read CD+G's with it. Do we still like the Plextors best? I can't burn CD+G's or DVD's either at the moment, so a USB external seems the solution. > When I had extracted the .bin image I ran it through dcdgrip to split it > but the results were not as expected.
