| The following specifications describe the input
media formats currently accepted for DVD Mastering.
| DVD5 |
| DLT III, IV TAPE |
Crystal Clear accepts the DLT III and
DLT IV tapes that are readable on a DLT4000, DLT7000 or
DLT8000 drive. Images supplied on this media must be written
in DDP2.0, DDP2.1, or CMF format. Copy protection is available
from DLT master. |
| DVD-R |
DVD-5 discs can be mastered from a DVD-R.
DVD-10 discs can also be mastered from two DVD-Rs discs
in the same way. DVD-9 discs can be mastered only from DLT.
Copy protection is available from DVD-R masters only if
saved in DDP2.0 format. |
| DVD (Replicated Disc) |
Crystal Clear accepts unencrypted manufactured
DVDs for mastering. Encrypted discs are not accepted. The
media should be high quality free of scratches and imperfections. |
| DVD9 |
| DLT III, IV TAPE |
DLT Tape was the primary form for submitting
DVD-9 masters. DLT tape can be used for CSS encrypted projects.
2 DLT tapes are required for DVD-9 (Layer 0 and Layer 1)
and DVD-10 projects (Side A and Side B). DLT Tape will not
produce a viewable representation of the project until the
disc is molded. |
| DVD-R |
DVD-R Dual Layer Media burned in a playable
format. This is the preferred method for DVD-9 since the
mastering technician can see how the finished product should
function. This method cannot be used for masters containing
CSS encryption. |
| DDP 2.0 on DVD-R |
DDP 2.0 Images can be burned to single
layer DVD-R. A DDP 2.0 image should contain three files
: DDPID, Control.Dat, and Main.Dat. If the project is a
DVD-9, 2 DDP images will be created (Layer 0 and Layer 1).
This method will allow for CSS encryption, however the mastering
technician is not able to see a visual representation of
the job until the disc is molded. |
