ted_b, thanks for the clarifications. Since I archived my DM-101 first, I tried to mount the resulting ISOs using VirtualCloneDrive on my PC, and it worked (see the pic), so I assumed that was supposed to be the case for all of the SACD-ISOs, but the opposite is indeed the case. .

Hi, I have recently joined the happy family of PS3 SACD iso archivers (read "a newbie"), since I own quite a few SACDs. First, a big fat thank you to all who contributed their time & money to this cause. Much appreciated. Now, I've got a PS3 CECHA01 all set up (OtherOS FW3.55 via recovery mode) following ted_b's instructions and successfully iso-archived a couple SACDs already using the sacd-ripper pkg v0.37. Please read the outcomes below: 1/ Depeche Mode 101 2-disc SACD - ripper ran ok, showed progress bars, completed and exited ok for both discs, joined iso #2, both ISOs will mount in Win10Pro and play via Foobar2000; 2/ Norah Jones - Come Away With Me - ripper ran ok, showed progress bars, completed and exited ok, but the ISO will not mount in Win10Pro ("The disc image file is corrupted."), but burned the iso on a DVD+R using ImgBurn and it plays ok in my Oppo BDP-93 recognized as a SACD DSD; 3/ Eagles - Hotel California (Japan) - ripper started and immediately froze, did not change the screen to show the ripping progress bars, PS3 became unresponsive, but the USB showed file I/O activity so I let it run for 3+ hours until the USB stopped showing any I/O activity, then I shut the PS3 down. The ISO will not mount in Win10Pro ("The disc image file is corrupted."), but burned the iso on a DVD+R using ImgBurn and it plays ok in my Oppo BDP-93 recognized as a SACD DSD; 4/ Diana Krall - Love Scenes - ripper started and immediately froze, did not change the screen to show the ripping progress bars, PS3 became unresponsive, but the USB showed file I/O activity so I let it run for 3+ hours until the USB stopped showing any I/O activity, then I shut the PS3 down. The ISO will not mount in Win10Pro ("The disc image file is corrupted."), but burned the iso on a DVD+R using ImgBurn and it plays ok in my Oppo BDP-93 recognized as a SACD DSD; Also, I just tested the Eagles & Diana Krall ISOs via iso2dsd_PC_v7 and it reads and extracts both to Sony DSF format ok, and the extracted files play in Foobar2000 just fine. Any thoughts on the sacd-ripper v0.37 freezing or the unmountable ISO images (encryption?)? Thanks in advance.
