I recently got an AVCD (Audio Video CD), which is part VCD (the video part) and audio.

No matter what settings I use in EAC, the cuesheet generated is always this:


Does EAC have a feature where you can select which tracks to include on a cuesheet for a single WAV? I thought EAC only recognised the audio part of a CD.

I usually rip to cuesheet + single WAV file to keep things easier.
How to create cuesheet for AVCDs?

Nevermind, I managed to get a cuesheet by making one myself.
When I scanned the audio tracks in EAC, all tracks had zero gaps (Is that possible?)

Is there a program capable of retrieving ISRC from the CD? I'm pretty sure the tracks have ISRC but since EAC doesn't detect the AVCD correctly, I can't extract them.

That would be Juno Mak's CD, right?

Yes, it's quite common for tracks on audio CDs to have no gap between them, even for CDs that are not nonstop mixes or live/concept albums. But I'm not sure if this one is an audio CD. The first and last of your screenshots don't show up, BTW.

Windoze usually displays tracks on audio CDs as *.CDA files. *.DAT is what you will usually find in the video directory on a VCD. You should not see audio tracks on a mixed-mode CD in Explore, anyway. Strange, those DAT files; have you tied copying them to the hard drive, changing the extension to *.WAV and playing them?

In any case, you cannot make a data image with EAC. If you are only interested in getting a WAV + cue, you could use EAC with a little help from PlexTools Pro or Alcohol 120%, they can hide the second (data) session from the OS. An older version of EAC (e.g. v0.95pb1) that has Use First Session Only option in the Action menu shoould work as well.

If you want to make a complete image for a backup, any of the CD imaging programs - PlexTools Pro, CloneCD, Alacohol 120% etc. - should do.

<edit: typos>

Yes, that is Juno Mak's CD.

AVCDs are only one session. The problem is for a complete backup, I use Alcohol 120% but the .DAT files are treated like audio in CDs so they aren't offset corrected unless I use EAC. This in turn means I have to extract the audio separately in EAC but there are no programs (?) that burns data + audio (I assume the audio files must be converted back to .DAT first?) with write offset correction, meaning I can't get a perfect copy

Confusing, I know.

I am not familiar with AVCDs, but it appears that as they are not Red Book discs, offset correction should be irrelevant, as with a data CD.
