My first pressing arrived yesterday, and I was a little concerned that the last track did not rip correctly in XLD. After asking ChatGPT, I learned that you can slow the ripping speed. Lowering the drive speed reduces the disc’s linear velocity at the outer edge, giving the laser more time to track the pits accurately and reducing jitter. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio, enabling the error correction system to recover data that would be unreadable at higher speeds, resulting in cleaner reads and fewer uncorrectable errors in the disc’s most error-prone area.
