- How can I overpass it?
That depends upon your hardware/software you will use to playback/rip your CDS200 title. Few software can accurately playback/rip CDS200 protected CDs. The hardware also plays big part here. There are drives that cannot read at all the CDS200 disc, some others will read accurately some of them and some others have no problem with it.
- ISO Buster v0.99.6/8
ISOBuster can be used in order to extract all tracks of the disc. Just press right click>>Extract Track>>Extract Audio to Wave file
The software will prompt you for un-readable sectors. Just select "Ommit Sector" and press Selection
As we can see, the TDK CyClone 161040 cannot read the first track and halts:
With the rest tracks, the reading process is faster but the drive seems to stop many times during the reading process inside the track:
The ISOBuster will not work in all cases. In many cases with not the proper drive, you won't be able to rip any tracks of a CDS200 disc (or maybe some of them). Since ISOBuster doesn't include any routines to detect the quality of the extracted wavs, you should really only use EAC.
