- Video Quality - Over twice the video resolution of DVD videos
- Durability - Hard protective coating to protect your data from scratches.

They will not operate in standard DVD Players.

The glass master/stamp process and AACS fees apply on this service but are not charged again if no changes are made. If changes to the master are made, then new Master/Stamp fees are required. |
