readcd is better for any optical media as it is able to directly send SCSI |
18 |
commands. Note that readcd implements the error recovery from sdd(1), that |
19 |
exists since 35 years and I also prefer for normal disks. |

With software that operates at block driver level, you depend on the error |
22 |
recovery features from the OS driver. |

Use the options -noerror and retries= (the latter makes sense with a retry |
25 |
count > 128 as 128 is the default) and set up a low read speed as this reduces |
26 |
media flitting. |
