I'm using different Greaseweazles for years now and i dumped SCP images and converted them in HxC to IMG because I thought this was the best method.
But recently I learned that I should instead use:
gw read --format ibm.1440 --raw NAME_00.0.raw (for example)
As this creates a kfx dump (preferred by the preservation community) and verifies the raw data against format for instant error detection.
And then convert using:
gw convert --format=ibm.1440 NAME_00.0.raw NAME.img
As this has better clock recovery than HxC and therefore can work better in critical cases.
Would it be possible to do a short writeup for people just looking for the best settings for a few popular formats?
Thanks, Burrito78
