Frist goes thanks to Womble for the Guide,
Sheep Test Guide
To copy the newest protections you really need to have a "Two Sheep" burner. But what is a two sheep burner and how can you tell. Well now you can following this guide to find out how good your drive is and so what it should be able to copy.
The first thing that you need to do is to download and ziphttp://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~noe/WSS/sheep.zip the test files. A copy of these files can be found here.
Once you have download and unzipped them go into the folder that you have placed them in.
The different files can be used to test the following things.
* weak_sectors - The test file creator program. You don't run this one.
* sd2old - Creates a test file to check if a writer gets at least One Sheep.
* sd251 - Creates a test file to check if a writer gets at least Two Sheep.
* sd290 - Creates a test file to see if your writer can burn SafeDisc 2.90.
* bad - Creates a file containing bad patterns. Many 2-sheep writers will fail to copy this.
* sheep_3 - Creates a test file which contains all weak regular patterns. A writer which passes this test should be called a "Three Sheep" burner. Please note this creates a file which is greater than 400Mb so it may take a while.
* sheep_3_audio - Creates a test file which is plain audio. A writer which passes this test should be called a "Three Sheep" burner. Please note this creates a file which is greater than 528Mb so it may take a while.
To create your test file you need to double click on one of the program bat files. This will launch the program to create the test file.
I am using Nero to burn this test file. To get to this screen, start up Nero and hit the New button or new under File. Here you need to select Start MultiSession Disc. Then click the ISO tab.
Under this tab you need to make sure that the Format is Mode 1. This is very important for the test to work properly. After you have selected the right format hit the New button
You will be taken to the main windows of Nero. Here you need to find your test folder in the right hand two windows. The left hand two windows are your blank CD. Once you have found the test files copy the file over to the CD. You can do this by dragging and dropping the file or right clicking on it and selecting CopyTo Compilation option. Once you have done that find the Burn button and hit it. Once again you can select Burn Compilation under the Recorder menu to do the same thing.
This is the burning options window. Here you can select different options to do with your device. The default settings should be the best to use. Hit the Burn button when you are ready to burn the test files.
Once done this window will come up telling you that you can close down Nero.
The next thing to do is to bring up the CD window that you have just burnt. I have also brought up a window on the hard drive where I am going to copy the files to. All that you need to do here is to select your test file from your CD and copy it to your hard drive. If you have burnt more than one test file to your CD I would recommend copying them to your hard drive one by one.
If you copied the test file sd2old across then you have a One Sheep burner. If you copied the test file sd251 across then you have a Two Sheep burner. If you copied the test file sd290 then you have a drive capable of copying SafeDisc 2.90 and so on for the rest of the test files.
If however you tried to copy sdold across and got one of the following errors then you don't even have a One Sheep burner. The same goes for the rest of the test files.
Hopefully now you will be able to test your own drives to see what they will and won’t be able to copy.
i've check on to drives
LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S the only thing that did not pass was bad and the other file were coped on the hard drive
SONY DVDRW DRU-510A the only thing that did not pass was sd290 AND bad

Two Sheep....im gunna venture a guess, could be wrong, but Dual-sided dvd disc reading?
never heard of "two sheep" burner
I have a question. It tests using an old ass version of safedisc...how is that the newest protections?
and I gotta waste a cd for this test?
and does it test for SF3 latest protection, you know, making it worth while?
Sounds fine cept wasting a cd..I know I can rip 1:1 copies of everything cept sf3 (new stuff) and I havent tried securom 7 yet.

Two sheep are quality burners that are able to perfectly burn some protections like Safedisk 4, Securom 5 and others while one sheep dont or is unreliable and hard to achieve !
This test is just to see if your burner is able to detect those tiny errors and variations of certain protections, the more the merrier !

Tnx for the guide superlinux. I've done this test on few burners myslef.
It's should be noted that LITE-ON SOHW-1673S is a steal at ~$100 in US..
