The sheeps refer to the EFM capability of a drive.
( the name Sheep more less comes from the original days of CloneCD)
Correct EFM-Encoding

2 sheep = Drive writes regular bit patterns correctly.
1 sheep = Drive writes regular bit patterns almost correctly.

It is best to have a 2 sheep burner, it can read and write in RAW mode bit for bit, WHICH, is extremely usefull when trying to make back-ups of copyprotected CD, DVD media.

U welcome,

It means you can make pretty much a perfect 1:1 image.

If you've noticed on a cdr there's a ring in the middle?

That's an ATIP file, most protections will check for this file. That's how it knows your 1:1 perfect copy isn't the damn original.

You require emulation so this ATIP file isn't read.

It is known that some DVD-rom drives will not read this ATIP file.

As for bit patterns, google yourself on the mechanics of optical drives, it doesn't really matter, what matters is, is this:

You'll have a much better chance burning with a two sheep than with a 1 sheep.

Halo last time I checked was protected by safedisc 3xx,
and yes I think you will need emulation.

Check out Daemon Tools.
