The following is a useful guide to the various processes available.
|
Duplication involves using blank media and burning the data onto the disc as you would on your home PC, but on a much larger scale.
The reason the term "burn" is used is because the Blu-ray-writer, or burner, literally burns the data onto a writable Blu-ray. The laser in a Blu-ray writer can be cranked up to a more powerful level than an ordinary Blu-ray laser. This enables it to engrave thousands of 1's and 0's onto a disc.
The result is a perfect disc copy.
|
Replication involves pressing the disc which is done via a glass master. The polycarbonate is squirted onto the master so that the data is permanantly etched into the data layer. Reflective and protective surfaces are then added to allow a laser to pick up the information and give the disc durability. The result is the same as a bought disc from your local Bluray retailer. |
