See [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: CD]] for the current list of drives that are currently acceptable for submitting CDs (Audio CDs, CD-ROMs, and other CD formats) to redump.

'''NOTE: dumps made using these drives will not currently be accepted (for CD-based media and anything other than standard DVDs). They should be purchased only by those willing to invest their time and money in testing and on the understanding that they may eventually prove to be incompatible for use by Redump'''

*While dumping in scrambled mode, support dumping full subchannel (P, Q, R-W) and C2 error pointers

* Could every ODD that supports M-Disc DVDs [https://web.archive.org/web/20190528092523/http://www.mdisc.com/m-ready/] and has a MediaTek (maybe even Renesas) chipset have at least one firmware version (even from a rebadged model) that support reading cache backwards and forward (OpCode: 0xF1)?
+
=== Redumper ===
-
Additional drive brands may work, some with limitations (such as can only read discs with a negative write-offset). A few LG/ASUS BD drives are also compatible with redumper dumping methods, '''but they do need to be [[Flashing with Asus BW-16D1HT 3.02 firmware|flashed with the ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10 RibShark firmware]]'''. Note: not all listed models have been (known) tested with DIC yet, please share your results.

Redumper is the preferred and recommended dumping tool to use for dumps submitted to redump, the full list of support drives is [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: CD|here]]

__TOC__
+
=== DiscImageCreator ===
 +
 
 +
DiscImageCreator (DIC) was the recommended tool prior to Redumper's development and is also still acceptable for Redump submission with a few caveats.
 +
 
 +
Dumps with DIC are not acceptable for Audio CDs and only the good Plextor drives in the table below are acceptable when dumping with DIC.
 +
 
 +
== Specific Drive Technical Details ==
 +
 
 +
=== Good Plextors ===
 +
 
 +
The following table of Plextor drive models have been recommended for use by Redump for many years, and are well tested. These models are unique in their ability to fully dump the lead-in of a CD (that is, the pre-gap and sectors before a pregap). Other good drives are capable of reading some portion of the pre-gap, but currently only these drives are known to be able to read all 150 sectors (and beyond the pre-gap). The latest firmware is linked for each model.
 +
 
 +
Note: While the PX-7xx series are capable of dumping DVDs, we recommend you use a different drive for DVDs to avoid unnecessary wear on these older drives.
-
==Not Recommended ODDs==
 
-
Standard dumping procedure (Asus / HP / LG / Lite-On / Philips & Lite-On / Pioneer / Sony / Sony Optiarc / TEAC ODDs).

Some older Plextor drive models (e.g. PX-40TS, PX-W1210TS, PX-W4220T) are capable of reading in scrambled mode, but other issues prevent them from being classified as compatible for dumping CDs in most scenarios. Only the above good Plextor drives are compatible for dumping CDs.

=== MediaTek Blu-ray Drives ===
 +
 
 +
Blu-ray drives manufactured by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitachi-LG_Data_Storage HLDS] using the MediaTek MT1959 chipset have most of the features required for redump-standard CD dumps. There are at least four "platforms" made by HLDS that use the MT1959 chipset: '''JB9''', '''JB8''', '''JB7''', '''JBC5'''. The drives based on the newer '''JB8''' and '''JB9''' platform are able to be cross-flashed to the [[Flashing Custom JB8 Firmware |custom ASUS BW-16D1HT firmware made by Ribshark]] that enables reading into the lead-out of a CD. The following drive models are confirmed to be based on the '''JB8''' platform.

Revision as of 15:01, 12 June 2025

See Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: CD for the current list of drives that are currently acceptable for submitting CDs (Audio CDs, CD-ROMs, and other CD formats) to redump.

Contents

General Technical Requirements

In order to make 1:1 CD dumps that are accepted at redump.org, drives (generally) require the following features:

  • Dump data sectors in scrambled mode
  • While dumping in scrambled mode, support dumping full subchannel (P, Q, R-W) and C2 error pointers
  • Reliable C2 error pointers support
  • Dump at least 75 sectors (1 second) of lead-in (more required for specific discs)
  • Dump at least 75 sectors (1 second) of lead-out (more required for specific discs)

Dumping Tools

Redumper

Redumper is the preferred and recommended dumping tool to use for dumps submitted to redump, the full list of support drives is here

DiscImageCreator

DiscImageCreator (DIC) was the recommended tool prior to Redumper's development and is also still acceptable for Redump submission with a few caveats.

Dumps with DIC are not acceptable for Audio CDs and only the good Plextor drives in the table below are acceptable when dumping with DIC.

Specific Drive Technical Details

Good Plextors

The following table of Plextor drive models have been recommended for use by Redump for many years, and are well tested. These models are unique in their ability to fully dump the lead-in of a CD (that is, the pre-gap and sectors before a pregap). Other good drives are capable of reading some portion of the pre-gap, but currently only these drives are known to be able to read all 150 sectors (and beyond the pre-gap). The latest firmware is linked for each model.

Note: While the PX-7xx series are capable of dumping DVDs, we recommend you use a different drive for DVDs to avoid unnecessary wear on these older drives.

Model IDE SATA SCSI USB USB/Firewire Notes
PX-704 PX-704A The PX-704A is a cost-reduced variant of the PX-708A, sold in China and
rebadged in Japan (Buffalo DVM-H44FB, Kuroutoshikou DVDRWX4244PX).
PX-704A can be flashed to the newer PX-708A firmware.
PX-708 PX-708A PX-708UF The TDK 840G is a PX-708A rebadge.
PX-708(2) PX-708A2 PX-708UF2 The PX-708A2 / PX-708UF2 is a cost-reduced variant of the PX-712A/UF.
PX-712 PX-712A PX-712SA PX-712UF
PX-714 PX-714A The PX-714A is a cost-reduced variant of the PX-716A, sold in China.
PX-714A can be flashed to the newer 716A firmware.
PX-716 PX-716A
PX-716AL 		PX-716SA PX-716UF
PX-716UFL 		Buffalo DVM-DM16FBS (IDE) / DVM-DM16U2 (USB) are PX-716 rebadges.
The PX-716AL / PX-716UFL are slot-in variants that have specific firmware.
PX-755 PX-755A PX-755SA PX-755UF
PX-760 PX-760A PX-760SA PX-760AUF
PX-W4012 PX-W4012A
PX-W4012TA 		PX-W4012S
PX-W4012TS 		PX-W4012U
PX-W4012TU 		The Iomega CDRW19200INT-A is a PX-W4012 rebadge.
The PX-W4012S / PX-W4012TS SCSI variants have specific firmware.
PX-W5224 PX-W5224A
PX-W5224TA 		PX-W5224U
PX-W5224TU
Premium Premium Premium-U The Premium is also known as the PX-W5232TA (e.g. used in the Yamaha WE785100)
Premium2 Premium2 Premium2U

Despite having all the features of the above good Plextors, the PX-W4824 is not capable of reading the lead-in and is limited to just 75 sectors of the pre-gap.

Model IDE SATA SCSI USB USB/Firewire Notes
PX-W4824 PX-W4824A
PX-W4824TA 		PX-W4824U
PX-W4824TU 		Has the following minor limitations for Audio CDs / Enhanced CDs:
   1. Unable to read full lead-in like other Plextors (only 1 second of pregap is available)
   2. Illegal TOC discs may need dumping with --force-qtoc (Redumper) or /fulltoc (DIC)
   3. *Some reports of issues with CD-Text on Multisession CDs
Otherwise, PX-W4824 dumps are still acceptable for most Audio CDs and all CD-ROMs.

Some older Plextor drive models (e.g. PX-40TS, PX-W1210TS, PX-W4220T) are capable of reading in scrambled mode, but other issues prevent them from being classified as compatible for dumping CDs in most scenarios. Only the above good Plextor drives are compatible for dumping CDs.

MediaTek Blu-ray Drives

Blu-ray drives manufactured by HLDS using the MediaTek MT1959 chipset have most of the features required for redump-standard CD dumps. There are at least four "platforms" made by HLDS that use the MT1959 chipset: JB9, JB8, JB7, JBC5. The drives based on the newer JB8 and JB9 platform are able to be cross-flashed to the custom ASUS BW-16D1HT firmware made by Ribshark that enables reading into the lead-out of a CD. The following drive models are confirmed to be based on the JB8 platform.
