Why does ImgBurn have two read speed settings?


Recommended Posts

When creating an image file from a disc, at the bottom-right corner of the dialog it gives me two read speed dropdowns separated by a forward slash (for example, MAX / 8x).  What do these mean, why are there two of them?  As it's not obvious, perhaps they should be labeled to show what they do?

The tooltips tell you what they're for. Hover your mouse over them.

 

One is for Data tracks, the other is for Audio tracks.

Why would you want different read speeds for those?

CD-DA Audio uses all 2352 bytes of the sector, so there's none of the extra error correction built in that you'd usually associate with data tracks/sectors.

 

Reading slower can produce better results.
