Flac does not have a Quality setting, it has a compression setting which I think is what you refer to in - Selected Quality: 8, personally I would not set it to Compression of 8 because it will greatly increase the time to compress and only save you a small percentage over the default of 5 or 6. Unless file size is a major concern leave the default.Ok. I guess it's supposed to be compression then. It does say Quality though.
Sorry I do not have MC12 so maybe the interface labels it as "Quality" which would be wrong.
As for the question regarding Ripping parts, I am not familiar with MC ripper. My guess would be that if it is doing Secure ripping and you get 100% then you have a good rip. Anything under 100% could be noticeable to you or not. Many times I will see issues with the last track of a CD but can never detect it to the ear.I read somewhere that the procentage was a result of the smallest number of reads possible divided by the actual reads of the CD or something. With this example I hardly belive it's that simple (at least not with the data presented):
