# CD Ripping Guide: How to write a dump to disc

Semplified step by step doc of better explained guide here at The Coaster Factory Page

Q: OK, we now know how to dump a disc: what about writing it back on cd?
A: We need to know 'write offset correction' of CDR/DVDR, to do this we first have to know 'combined offset correction' so 'write offset correction' will be calculated as it:
'combined offset correction' - 'offset correction' = 'write offset correction'
In this example I use my PLEXTOR - CD-R PX-W2410A with a +98 'read offset correction' value

- Start EAC
- Press F10 for CDR/DVDR Drive options (you can use a CDRW for test)
- Select 'Writer' tab and press 'Create Offset Test CD' (Leave 'Write samples offset' on 0 value)

- Now select 'Offset / Speed' Tab leaving Test CD on Drive
- Press 'Detect read sample offset correction...' (remember original value, you could reset it)

Now we have: +68 - +98 = -30 so use this value to dump tracks for mastering.
At this point we can use original cd or our dump mounted on a virtual disc like Daemon Tools or Alcohol virtual drive (Virtual drive should have 0 offset value).
Second option should be better because we'll use original cue and iso files and use redumped wavs instead of original ones, just load cue and burn redump using CDRWin or Nero Burning Rom.
