When you XOR with 0x60 you get 1 = Mode 1. It makes sense.
All other sectors are mode 2?

Nope, all sectors are mode 1.

And even more interesting is that edcchk hasn't detected an error in sector 150 (00:02:00) and just detected it as Mode 1 data sector.
Because descrambled sector of LBA 0 (sector 150) is no problem. As you say, CD Manipulator and Clone CD is padding this sector by 0x00 or 0xff.
This is a similar case

Firstly, you need to check by cdtoimg.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/9b31r4fv4 … g.rar/file
This is a simple 0xd8 ripping tool. Please check if 1st sector is really same as dic's 1st sector.
Secondly, you need to check the pregap sector of 1st track.
Code: Select all
DiscImageCreator.exe audio <DriveLetter> <Filename> <DriveSpeed> -5000 0
Please check the position of the sync (00 FF FF .. FF 00)

sarami, the dumps of cdtroimg and the scrambled DIC file differ. From what I can tell, DIC is missing the first 32 bytes of the image.
First few bytes of the DIC .scm image:
First few bytes of the cdtoimg image:
Trying to read the pregap threw lots of errors - log file and resulting dump available at

Is it possible that this is a disc with a mastering error instead of a copy protection?
Thanks for your help!

First 40 bytes are cut. Because .scm is an image the offset is calculated. I confirmed cdtoimg image was same as _disc log.

Thanks. I found offset of the pregap (and TOC) area was -22.
Code: Select all
0020 : 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF ................

Due to incomplete/garbage sync from 0020 to 0027, offset of LBA 0 is shifted to -20.

Thanks sarami for your great support!!
Is it now safe to submit the DIC dump? Which comment should I choose regarding this weird sector 150? What about the error count - "1" as reported by CD Manipulator and CloneCD or "0" as reported by DIC+edcchk?

Perhaps admin or moderator will judge it properly.

Hey sarami. Did you ever address my recent post on SafeDisc? nightson has also talked to me recently, stating that he is getting the same issue.
