From CDRWIN3 help:
"By default, this software copies raw 2352 byte data sectors (which includes the header, user data, and error correction codes). While this can give you an exact copy of the disc, some CDROM drives are not very good at reading raw data sectors and errors can occur (and it takes more harddisk space to store the disc image). In many cases it is much better to copy just the user data, and let the CD recorder regenerate the header and error correction codes when the new disc is written. Using a transfer setting other than 2352 will read only the user data on both MODE1 (2048 bytes) and MODE2 discs (2336 bytes). This should increase the reliability of reading and writing all MODE1 discs. MODE2 discs are a little more difficult to deal with because they can contain two variations of sectors known as FORM1 and FORM2."

it seems like all of the cue/bin images ive downloaded lately will not load in cdrwin(3.9,4.0),it says there corrupt,so i have to convert to iso.why do people still use the cue/bin format anyway? and i know in fireburner and burnatonce there is a device setting for dao96,dao16,sao,autocorrect sub channel, but i cant find any clear explanation for what they all mean and are used for? i burned lotr yesterday w/fireburner and while its burning the window says it is converting from Mode 1/2352 to Mode 1/2448-----whats that mean? i wish clonecd would burn cue/bin
