> While folks are thinking about CDs: I've not been able to get an F2/F3-frame CD image. If anyone has such a thing (not copyrighted, just a CD containing a text file or public domain music piece is fine), I'd love to get it so I can implement a CIRC encoder/decoder!
I don't know if you've already seen this, but I've heard of someone getting an image like this. They used it to discover what the AccurateRip drive offset values mean in terms of the physical location of the subchannel data and interleaved main channel data on the disc. There's a vague description of their process in there as well.

> I can reproduce the CIRC, get the de-interleaved audio data, and also do the Reed-Solomon C1/C2 stuff in software from my analog laser readouts - showing an error-free read, identical to what I get with my Plextor using somewhat more conventional methods.
