• You have already ripped with proper offset correction, presumably securely (either using secure mode, or better still using ANY mode with Accurate Rip Confidence 2 or higher).
What's with the confidence of 2? I read a previous post of yours suggesting that if it's only one then you need a test CRC. In the case of there being a confidence of only one the only issue is if it was your submission, in which case a test CRC doesn't really add anything. Furthermore, secure mode is not necessary for a secure rip. Without AR verification one can use burst mode with test and copy and with matching CRCs, the rip will still be secure.
Now there have been cases where consistent errors presumably tied to a manufacturing defect combined with drives using a common chipset have populated the AR database. When taking this into consideration, I don't think that simply bumping the confidence level by only one is going to provide any significant level of warm fuzziness to those who are concerned about this inconvenient truth.
Back to the original point, simply burning with EAC and a
properly configured write offset is really the way to go.
