Re: More about offsets?

Alright, thanks for all the info

Anyway, I think the AccurateRip database might be pretty accurate. It says that "A small number of drives have [Purged] as the offset, these drives were found not to have a constant drive offset (perhaps different manufacturing batches, or firmwares), as such they have been removed from AccurateRip's drive database".

I'm not sure exactly how the database works yet, but I believe when you rip one of the key discs they have in the disc database, and your files exactly match someone elses rip, you get added to the offset database. Since drives with different offsets are purged, the drives that do have many submitters with the same offset is probably very accurate at that point.

Anyway, there's so much of this technical stuff with CDs Good thing a straight file format was used with DVDs
