using alcohol 120 i try to burn a downloaded iso file (aliens vs predator 2) and it tells me that there is no rmps data when i try to switch the media type to securom 4.8x.
To backup Safedisc 4.8x you need 'Phisical media info' (= twin sector info). This is either done by BlindRead (it puts that info on a BWA file) or by Alcohol (the MDS is slightly bigger and has 'rpms info' embedded into it). The 'no rpms data' means that you try to burn accordingly to Safedisc 4.8x [bold]without [/bold] such info. You have either to: - dump again the CD with Alcohol AND Datatype=Securom *New* 4.x : this will create a MDS with rpms data - get a BWA file from internet and burn the image with BlindWrite Please note that - Alcohol will only make a 'working backup': you need Alcohol running on system tray (RPMS emulation ON) to play it; - BlindWrite, provided you have a good burner, will do a 'perfect backup' (= which works without emulation)
