When should the "Bypass EFM Errors" option be checked and when not?
When copying a Safedisc v4-protected CD-ROM, will checking the "Bypass EFM Errors" box hurt anything if the burner is capable of writing the EFM errors to the disc?

We require that a System Report from within Alcohol be posted before we will answer a Post.
That is a ridiculous request in this case. The question I ask has nothing to do with my system. It is a question about a feature of your software. While I do have several different CD-RW and DVD-RW burners, the make and model of each doesn't really affect the answer to the question. However in case you are anal about this, my newest drive is a Plextor PX-716A, and I am using the latest trial version of Alcohol 120% on Windows XP.
So, I repeat again: When should the "Bypass EFM Errors" option be checked and when not?

If you read that topic a complete system report from within Alcohol is mandatory regardless of what you feel or think (unless it is regarding installation). These are the rules of this forum. I do not make them, I just enforce them.

Meh, I suppose I'll go ahead and answer his question. Enabling or disabling the Bypass EFM option is determined entirely on whether your drive supports writing EFM or not. It's all dependant on the drive.

So, the box should be checked if the drive supports writing EFM and unchecked if it doesn't?
Let's say that the drive doesn't support writing EFM and the "bypass EFM errors" option is still checked. What happens to/on the disc when it is written? Conversely what happens if the option is not checked and the drive supports writing EFM?
Specifically what does this option really do, and what are the consequences of using and not using it?
