I'm trying to create an image of a couple of Enhanced CDs I have, but CloneCD only seems to copy the audios files and never copies the video files thats on the disk. Is there anyway around this?
Are you also using AnyDVD? If so I've found that when you have the AnyCDDA feature enabled it removes everything other than the audio. This setting is enabled by default. I believe this has to do with the disc's native table of contents being visible rather than how the Enhanced CD is done. Go into your AnyDVD settings and uncheck the Remove CD Digital Audio Protection under the Audio CD settings.
Thanks for the quick reply, however I do not have AnyDVD installed. Any other suggestions?
I do select Multemedia Audio CD. I don't have many enhanced CD's myself, but I know the previous batch of enhanced CD's I tried to copy worked OK, its just this time around I'm having problems. I dunno whether it could be the CD itself because of some new form of copy protection.
If it helps, the CD I was trying to copy was Katy Perry - One of the Boys. If you need more info, I'd be happy to provide it.
The reason why it is called enhanced is not only cause it has video but that the protection defeats regular mill of the copy software from working and copying the cds correctly.
Such discs should contain quite visible "copy controlled" (or equivalent) logo.
I mistakenly purchased two Cactus discs that required a Plextor Premium burner to read them consistently and make a satisfying copy.
The perfect copy of the audio alone is impossible, as the original already contains damaged audio.
Almost forgot:

I had some limited experience with enhanced cds and they will not work under CloneCD just themselves you will need Anydvd to be running to be able to make a working copy of that cd music.
Yes, it modifies the TOC to comply with the red-book, so any software sees the disc as a compact disc (containing audio tracks only), while the data session remains hidden.Those are the most hated enhanced cds for most people as they have some video on them beside the copy protection but I know from using Anydvd is has the ability to bypass that protection found on the enhanced cds.
In my case, it was the infamous Cactus protection, CDS 200 or 300 (don't remember). Using EAC, Toshiba and LiteOn drives were able to rip only half of the tracks in a very long time. AnyDVD's feature to hide the data track wasn't useful...I only had to use it once and it did work cause that was the only cds I owned at the time that came with it but haven't had to use Anydvd for such cds much anymore as I don't buy them.
Would you be able to tell me what settings you have used with AnyDVD and CloneCD. I have dug up my copy of AnyDVD and tried multiple things, but still have had no luck
Thanks for that piece of information, but I'm really trying to copy the Audio and Video segments of the enhanced CD.
Are there certain Enhanced CD's CloneCD can't copy or is this a new form of protection on Enhanced CD's that the CloneCD team haven't got to yet?
It's more likely that the structure of the CD confuses CloneCD.It is safe now to say that the experiment with audio CD protections has failed.
