Re: More about offsets?

I have one more question that I wanted to clear up. I was reading the Coaster Factory link, and I'm a little confused. As far as I understand, to burn a new disc that will match an original, you need:

1) Someone to rip with EAC with the correct read offset
2) Then you need to burn using EAC with the correct write offset (and you can only use EAC to burn, because it's the only program that supports seperate write offsets)

Or, the person who rips can rip with combined read/write offsets, and when you burn the file to a disc, it'll be correct, but the files on the hard drive have incorrect offsets.

Is this correct?

EDIT: I did a little bit of reading, and looks like I was wrong about the second option. If combined offets are used, then the burn must be made on the same drive from which it was ripped.
