Copying cd with safedisc v2 to img file?

[melachi]

Hi

I was trying to copy one of my games (stronghold) to an image file with CloneCD, however it stays at 0%. The cd has Safedisc v2 protection.

It doesn't really matter if I can burn the image file, as long as I can copy the cd to an image file first.

I'm using Clone CD 3.3.4.1
I've got a LG CD-RW CED-8080B & a COMPAQ DVD-ROM DVD-114.

Thanks

I noticed the same thing with MOHAA, after about 20 minutues it was still at 0%, I left it running while I slept, and when I woke up a few hrs later it was done 100%, how long did you let it copy for ? I've seen in a few other posts that the first 3-5% take the longest, after that it goes pretty fast. :D

Did you enable Fast Error Skip?

Even with this enabled some drives will take hours reading it. And some will take about 5mins (like mine)

Thanks for you replies.

I just downloaded & installed C-CD 4.0.0.1, the menu has changed, how do I select Fast Error Skip in this version?

edit: nm I found out...


It's reading it now at 1-8 kbytes/s .. :/
I believe you're correct MedMan

Does anyone know how to speed it up?

Not sure on how much difference there is between clonecd 3 and 4 ( I only have #3 ) but there should be a *write speed* button, is that set to MAX ?

have you downloaded the new xxl...this will make your life easier with the new version of clone cd.....

[melachi]

Ah yes, I noticed that the menu in xxl changes to CC4 settings. It now actually starts CC when you click the start cc button.
The settings I got made the whole process faster
Copies at 4x now!

Thanks
