Just for giggles I thought I would try to backup Call of Duty: United Offensive, which has Safedisc 3.20.022

Aray Reported
[00:55:19 AM] Signs on CD/DVD indicate SafeDisc 3.20
[00:55:36 AM] SafeDisc 3.20.022 detected -> D:\Setup\Data\CoDUOSP.exe
[00:55:41 AM] --- File(s) Scan Finished [14.58s] ---

Drive Used: Liteon 1213s@1633s BSOH Firmware
Software: Alcohol 120% Latest Version
Profile: safedisc 2/3 <- For reading and Writing
Disc Used: 80min Maxell CDR
Read Speed: 8X
Write Speed: 16X

To my suprise and amazement it worked first time in the 1633s, Maybe the drive is not so great at writing DVD's but it did an awesome job of the CD-R

Although I have tried the disc in 3 other drives and it only works in the 1633s

Plextor 52x24x52x (non premium) from mds with alcohol 120% at 8x. I did Sims2, and it works ok without crack or anything in my plextor drive, although it seems that doesn't work as well on other drives.

Appendix2:
works now with all Drives (load time decreased)
reason for working now was that not all drives did like the cdrw did make a cdr now and it works in all drives
Liteon sohd 167T (2004) dvdrom (cdr)
msi ms-8152 (1996) cdrom (both)
benq DVP-1650 (2003) (cdr)
Teac DV516E (both)
Toshiba SD-M1912 (both)
so i would suggest if your cdrw doesnt work (and i guess most use for testing) try a cdr?
