Question about ripping and writing in raw format . . .

[CanadianBacon]

I am quite pleased with my TDK VeloCD right now, but once again have another question (this is just one of my many other posts) about recording. This time its about raw format.

With clone CD . . . I ripped a CD with all that subchannel reading etc checked . . . but when it came time to write it, I checked the "do not repair subchannel data" because I thought damaged data might be a form of copy protection. Was this the right thing to do?

Also . . . being the nut I am for saving money, I really don't want to register CloneCD to be able to write CD's at their full speed . . . and am really annoyed that I'm stuck at 2x (well, I guess they have to make money somehow). Besides warezing it, is there another program that will let me both rip AND write in a raw format? (thus negating any forms of copy protection)

Thanks beforehand for the responses!

This is the internet, just get a serial and run CloneCD at full speed, and like me if you really like it then pay for it anyway.


Serial

I just wanna know if there are any quality alternatives. I don't want to blindly jump and buy some product without knowing there are different (not nessecarily better) programs out there that do similar things.

I think I've seen it posted somewhere that Nero can RAW-Write. Not positive though.

CloneCD is currently the best with copy protected disks.

This is a god site for info on all burner software.

Go to the cd clone forum.They have the info
on what to have on,or off when reading and writing
cds with protection schemes!Most are left unchecked,
for the write.Reading may be the most important area!
There are programs that detect the type of protection,
than you just go with the norm for that scheme!By the
way cdrsoft.net is also a good source of info!

What would be the norm check-listing if I simply wanted to do it in raw format . . . meaning I'd get by every single copy protection mode
