One of their plethora of tools we will be talking about is DVD Copy. So, why should you need to have this tool?
As the name suggests, it does one thing and does it best, that is to copy the DVD.
Why do you need it, you must ask?
Well, to know why we must understand how the DVD works.
What is the DVD?
A DVD is essentially made of several layers of plastic, of about 1.2 mm thick. Each layer is created by moulding polycarbonate plastic. This process forms a disc that has microscopic bumps arranged as a single and continuous spiral track of data. These DVDs are neither magnetic nor mechanical, but optical.
Reading Process
To read or write data to the disk, the player shines a laser to the disk. A bump represents the number zero, so every time the laser burns or comes across a bump into the disc, a zero is stored or read from there. The lack of a bump, which is a flat and unburned area on the disc, also called a land represents the number one. Thus the data is stored as a series of 1s and 0s.
So, we can see, that since it is optical, it is required to have a clear line of view between laser and the disk grooves. But, due to daily handling, it could be possible that once transparent media become scratched and data not be properly read from disk, causing the data to be corrupted.
Why Should You Use DVD Copy?
You might have some disks lying around which are in a bad shape due to regular wear and tear and have a high risk of data corruption.
