Skip reading errors (default): The source CD/DVD may have scratches or dust on the reading
surface. If so, errors may occur during the reading process. It is suggested to select the "Skip
reading error" feature, whenever you wish to create an image file (*.mds) onto your hard disk
drive.
Fast skip error blocks (not every device supports this function) (optional): This option is
mainly for special CD formats to speed up the image making process.
Advanced Sector Scanning: Skips large blocks of errors, boosting overall reading speed.
Read Sub-Channel Data from current disc (optional): This option is for special CD formats, as
some data is stored in the sub-channel of the disc. Before selecting this function, you have to make
sure what kind of datatype the source CD is (refer to datatype dropdown menu below).
Data Position Measurement: New protections like SecuROM 4.8x work by positioning the data
irregularly on the spiral track of the CD. This irregular positioning is measured, and emulated while
the image is mounted.
Please Note: Data Position Measurement can only be used with the Securom *NEW (V4.x),
StarForce 1.x/2.x and VOB ProtectCD V5 profiles. The best results are obtained when the DPM
reading speed is kept as low as possible.
Datatype: You have to make sure what kind of datatype the source CD is, and select the correct
datatype. If you are not sure which datatype your source CD is, you can find detection software on
the Internet. Another powerful source of information is our Support Forum at http://forum.alcohol-
software.com.
