Ring based DRM by optimal media productions and mostly seen on German discs. Comes in 3 versions each which require different methods for dumping.

The first (example) can be identified by having a single data track. These should be treated as normal ringed discs and dumped using the Ringed dumping guide.

The second combines Copy-X and Bitpool (example) and can be identified by having the same track structure as the later. Dumping method for these are currently being researched

The third can be identified by having a series of audio tracks following the data track (example). These discs are unique in that they carry a ring in said audio tracks as well as a "fake" ring in the data track consisting of EDC errors. The only method currently known to handle this version involves a H353B/D163B running kreon firmware and a SOHD.

Step 1: Put the disc in the Kreon and run (standalone) redumper with the --force-split --verbose commands. The end result should be a BIN with a lot of C2, ~150 EDC errors and a varying number of sectors with bad sync following the EDC. Note down the first sector with C2 corresponding to the audio tracks as well as the last continues sector with C2 (There might be some loose ones after it that you can ignore).

Step 2: Move the disc to a SOHD and Use CDarchive (see ringed dumping guide Step 4 on how this program works) and have it read the disc backwards from the last sector with bad sync. If nothing gos wrong, it should be able to get rid of them all. Ignore the EDC errors and merge the result into the BIN a per stem 5 of the guide.

Step 3: Run Redumper Info --image-name=[Name of CUE] and Redumper hash --image-name=[Name of CUE] on the dump.

Step 4: Repeat the process and make sure you get 2 matching dumps

Step 5: Run ECCEDC checkex on the dump as per step 7 of the ringed disc dumping guide. Note down the ranges of sectors with EDC errors in the dump. It will likely be two.

Step 6: Use MPFcheck on one of the dumps and add both the Audio C2 range from step 1 and your EDC ranges from step 5 to comments (example). Fill in and submit as normal but also add the ECCEDC output from step 6 to the logs.
