Sorry, no, but Bushound can ; if you start logging at the right moment, the trial (which can only log 32 commands) is also ok for Safedisc as you principally only need the last 10 commands of the check to get the sectors.

Just found, that there's a new version of sfdrvup (i guess it's 3.7, but not the very new 3.07.013): http://www.star-force.com/protection/users/

EDIT2:
@neptun
To be more precise:
Install Bushound, Reboot; Start Bushound, go to "Devices" and choose your physical/virtual drive; then go to "Settings", "Phases to capture": uncheck all but "CDB"; "Columns to display": uncheck all but "Data", now go to "Capture", start your Safedisc(DVD) game, wait 1 second (2?, half a?, yes, thats the tricky part, as i mentioned: only 32 commands can be logged with the trial), then hit run; end the game and save your log; do the hex->dez conversion

Scheme of the last commands of Safedisc(DVD) check:

-

- 00 04 1a 1050
- 00 04 1b 1051
- 00 04 1c 1052
- 00 04 1d 1053
- 00 04 1e 1054
a 00 04 1f 1055
- 00 00 00
- 00 00 00
- 00 00 10
- 00 00 00
b 00 ca 63 51811
d 0d 90 69 888937
c 09 90 6a 626794
f 17 34 7b 1520763
e 12 b7 6f 1226607

Gaps:
a+1 to b-1
b+1 to c-1
c+1 to d-1
d+1 to e-1
e+1 to f-1
f+1 to last sector of DVD

... pretty logical
