Just my humble opinion,

It seems to me the only drives that NEVER have problems with C2 error correction are the Plextors (or the TDK VeloCD drives, which are repackaged Plextors).

Or am I wrong about that?

And the rest of this message is for Andre:

Just wondering if you considered making some sort of warning in EAC telling them that C2 error correction likely won't work with their drive unless they have a Plextor?

I'm betting there are many people out there who falsely assume that their drive supports C2, and keep it on because EAC will rip much faster with it turned on.

To me, EAC is so valuable because of the quality it provides. I realize you could say the same thing about the other options that must be set correctly for accurate ripping:

Caching: - the test in EAC isn't wrong very often
Accurate Stream: - pretty much every drive made today supports this

It's the C2 that bothers me, because the 'test' for it is often wrong, and even when it's right the drive rarely supports it correctly. Anyone who doesn't take the time to read through the EAC forum or newsgroup won't realize this.

I just thought there might be a way in the EAC software itself to make sure the user knows exactly what these options mean, and a specific warning about C2.
