Nero is great, but I don't know about the bit-for-bit.  I use Blindread
and Blindwrite for bitwise CD copies since this program outperforms even
dd.  It is designed to nibble slowly at copy protection bad sectors and
write them out as it sees them exactly to disk + subcodes and other stuff.
It may take up to 6 hours to read some disks but the copies are excellent.
It gets around the copy protection on No One Lives Forever easily.

Andrew
