DT Pro Advanced & SafeDisk Profile

[chaff]

I just downloaded the trial for DT Pro Adv 2 days ago, and my first test was to make an image of a SafeDisk protected CDROM. That test started 40 hours ago, and it says that it's only at 6% with ~29 hours left to go. Is this typical?

The disk: Rosetta Stone language disk
OS: Vista 64
Optical Drive: HL-DT-ST DVDRWBD GBC-H20N ATA Device (I don't know the exact maker, but it's a DVDRW+Bluray Reader).

Thanks for any help!

It is normal to encounter very much read errors on SafeDisc protected CDs.

Reading speed varies from drive to drive. With some it takes hours and others can fast skip those errors within minutes.

You could try to select Safedisc profile, of course, and enable "Lock Media during grab","Open device exclusively" and "Hardware error correction". On some cd/dvd readers/burners these settings make safedisc image creation process faster than without them. Just try and report your results please.
