Philips DVDR824P DVD+RW - Page 6

Protected Disc Tests
- Reading Tests

To create the image of the various protected titles to the hard disk, we used CloneCD v4.3.1.7 software and the appropriate settings, according to the protection type of the inserted discs. Below are summarized the capabilities of the Philips drive, according to CloneCD software. Notice that the drive does not support writing of CD+G under RAW DAO:

The game titles we used for each protection scheme are illustrated in the table below:

Game Title
Protection Scheme
PSX "NBA Jam Extreme"
Lybcrypt
Serious Sam The Second Encounter v1.07
SafeDisc v.2.60.052
VRally II
SecuROM v.2
PSX Pressed Media

Although this is not a top performance, the Philips drive finished the task in 2:20min. Ricoh MP5240A was 5 seconds faster, while Plextor drive gave the best performance with only 69 seconds.

SafeDisc v.2

Philips is very slow when skipping the "bad" sectors of the Safedisc v2 protected disc. The drive needed 19min to create the image to the hard disk. Plextor PX-708A is the fastest drive in the test with 2251.08 sectors/sec, followed by Ricoh MP5240A.

SecuROM v2

Philips DVDR824P supports reading of subchannel data information from data/audio tracks, but is not compatible with CloneCD CD+G DAO writing. This means that although the SecuROM v.2 image was created fast, it cannot be successfully recorded to a CD-R with the same drive.

- Writing Tests

Philips supports the DAO-RAW writing mode. For checking the drive's EFM correction status, we used 2 different game titles with different SafeDisc 2 versions with the latest software patches installed. After making the images of the various titles to the hard disk, we burned them (maximum speed) with CloneCD v4.3.1.7. Two different discs were created for each title; one with the "Amplify Weak Sectors" feature enabled and one more with the function disabled.

In case of SecuROM v.2 title, CloneCD prompt us that the drive is not compatible with writing on the whole 96 bytes of the Subchannel area. As a result, the drive cannot create backups of this protection.

In the table below you can see whether the produced backups were working (game installed / played normally), or not.

Drive
Game Title
SD2 Build
Settings
Amplify Weak Sectors On
Amplify Weak Sectors Off
Philips DVDR824P
Max Payne
v2.51.020
NO
NO
Serious Sam - The Second Encounter v1.07
v.2.60.052
NO
NO

Regarding the SafeDisc v.2 protection, the backups were not working despite the contribution of the CloneCD.
