Feurio Questions & Answers - General questions on the Feurio! CD-Manager:
Automatic Repeat / Reduction of read speed after C2 errors?


Question: Wouldn't it be a good idea if after a C2 error Feurio! automatically tried to read the sector again and/or reduced the read speed?

Answer: NO - that would be counter-productive. As described under "C2-errors", C2 errors CAN BE CORRECTED. This means the data read as a general rule is correct - C2 errors are to be seen more as a "Warning". If you now repeat the sector after a C2 error has occurred and/or reduce the read speed, the CD-ROM would have to restart. The risk of an error occurring with the restart is greater than the risk of errors not being corrected with the C2 error recognition .
Thus an option of this kind would on average provide WORSE data!
