So when I tell you I've tested with version "3.01", because that's what
it tells me, you know exactly which of the heap of varieties I'm talking
about? Fine by me, you're the expert of your software...


Here's the drive list.

I use output like this as a measure that your fix is working:
100%  track 15  recorded successfully
100%  track 17  recorded with minor problems
100%  track 19  recorded with minor problems (0.2% problem sectors)
100%  track  8  recorded with audible hard errors

The bad version only outputs lines like this:
100%  track 13  recorded with audible hard errors

No drives with bad output found. These drives produce good output:

Lite-on, fresh from the shop
Type: ROM, Vendor 'ATAPI   ' Model 'iHAS124   F ' Revision 'CL07' MMC+CDDA

Stoneage CD-RW:
Type: ROM, Vendor 'HP  ' Model 'CD-Writer+ 8100 ' Revision '1.0g' MMC+CDDA

LG, appr 5y old:
Type: ROM, Vendor 'HL-DT-ST' Model 'DVDRAM GH22LS50 ' Revision 'TL03' MMC+CDDA

Laptop drive, appr 4-5y old
Type: ROM, Vendor 'MATSHITA' Model 'DVD+-RW UJ8B1   ' Revision 'D.04' MMC+CDDA

Old Sony/NEC/Optiarc CD-RW:
Type: ROM, Vendor 'Optiarc ' Model 'DVD RW AD-7200S ' Revision '1.R1' MMC+CDDA

I have these to test as well but would need to re-arrange hardware. It's
not much point because it's clear it's working again.
Type: ROM, Vendor 'CDWRITER' Model 'IDE5232 ' Revision '000R' MMC+CDDA
Type: ROM, Vendor 'PIONEER ' Model 'DVD-RW  DVR-106D' Revision '1.08' MMC+CDDA

I'm not totally sure but occasionally I had the feeling the 3.01 has a
slightly lower final read error rate.

Thanks muchly for improvement!

Volker

Yes. I tried to subscribe. No reaction from the list server. Not what I
was expecting from SF. Does the list require moderator approval for
subscriptions?

Yes, the most recent files listed is
  Looking for the latest version? Download scg-i386-sol9 (19.5 kB)
I save myself the trouble with solaris 9.

The rest of the files are named schily-* and neither the file name nor
the project description (tool box) tell me it's cdrecord.

I assume you meant schily-dist-pre3.tar.xz

If I may say so, I do not find it intelligent that dozens of different
source archives all produce a tool with -version cdda2wav 3.01. I'm
expecting it to report itself as 3.01-schily-dist-pre3 if it came fom
there.

Schily Tools
A Tool Box with tools written or managed by Jörg Schilling
Brought to you by: schily

As you see, you see nothing of that sort.


> are you satisfied with the recent changes?

Still testing, but looking good so far. I'll give you a drive list.

Thanks muchly,

Thanks for letting me know. There appears to be no more traffic there
than here, but hey. When SF gets round to processing subscriptions.

I can do some testing on various drives, however please point to exact
software tar files to try, I don't have time to run around 5 different
websites, all with dead links (berlios etc), outdated stuff, and
ridiculous naming schemes of tar files, and I don't have time to sort
out all the schily-whatever.tar stuff, like cdrtools-3.01.tar.bz2 and
schily-2015-09-16.tar.bz2 seemingly containing the same, sorry. And I'm
not interested in politics.

My early tests show that cdda2wav 3.01 with libscg and libschily
3.01~a15 doesn't work any better, but cdda2wav 3.01a15 with those shows
at least plausible error rates.

My testing is spread over openSUSE Linux 12.3 and 13.2, with OBS
packages. I verified that the one patch applied by suse is not the
problem (you might want to check it out for other fixes though).

Thanks muchly,

Volker
