backing up XCD ?

[ZenmasteR]

I burnt a copy of an XCD movie,
I deleted the bin file though, now I need to make a buckup of the XCD i burnt.
I want to know if its possible to do a straight copy of this disc?

I rather not extracting manually and recreate the XCD as i wasn't the original creator/encoder.

also another thing. How do I ensure the XCD bin file I burnt was error free? with mode 1 format stuff I can just do a simple crc cdcheck

but XCDs don't like to be read that way.

tia for advice

I haven't problems duplicating a XCD with nero. Just use CD-copy.

direct cd copy (like clonecd) should work ok.

atm there's no way to tell if your file has errors with the provided stand alone tools, however, with the next release i hope that the new xcd2file tool will be able to report such statistics (for 'old' files and for new 'true' xcd).

A free RAW copier is CDRDAO (Very disorganized source, though).

You could actually use Nero's nice little Drive Speed utility and have it do a surface scan for errors on the media. It really doesn't take that long at all. How accurate the tool is might be another story though:)
