Comparing Discs
Comparing Discs allows a copy to be compared against a master image, to
make sure there are no detectable differences. This feature is not available for
Audio or Video tracks, because Audio/Video tracks do not have ECC (error
correction codes) to guarantee data integrity. Only data tracks have this.
Follow the Copying Discs section above, but instead of inserting blank media,
insert the copied discs.
Batch Mode
WARNING - VERY IMPORTANT
:
DO NOT use BD-RE discs as ‘master discs’ while in batch mode. They
will be re-formatted and re-written without further warning!
Batch mode is a method of copying more than one master CD without starting
each job individually.
This works by the drives recognising a new master Discs as they are loaded in
to the recorders from input hopper.
Each master disc should be placed on the input stack together with the blanks
in such a manner that the master would be loaded first, followed by the
blanks.
Each master and the required number of blanks should be placed in the input
hopper until all masters and blanks are on, or the input hopper is full.
Make sure that the first master is the first disc to be loaded.
A batch job will terminate if the input hopper is empty and all discs have been
recorded or if the first master being read has errors. A read error on a master
midway through will result in the following blank discs being rejected until a
new master is detected by the system.
