... if a drive that successfully ripped every single CD in my collection (including some pretty dodgy scratched ones that i bought second hand) cannot even rip a single dualdisc out of the 3 that i bought WITH ERROR-CORRECTION TURNED ON and caching turned off, it means there is something fundamentally wrong.And this is a drive that has also been praised for very good audio extraction of copy protected titles.
That's it - i've learnt my lesson - I'm never going to buy a DualDisc again.
The DVD layers played back fine, but so what? I don't want to intentionally buy product that's defective or substandard. I'm definitely not putting these discs in MY audi cd changer.
