Introduction - 1:1 disc to disc Blu-ray backup

As the name of “1:1 disc to disc Blu-ray copy” suggests, it means that during disc to disc Blu-ray copy process, there’s no disc compression and quality loss. All things, including surrounding sound, multilingual, chapter points and menu navigation, in original Blu-ray supplements are fully copied to the new target blank Blu-ray disc. In short, all content in Blu-ray disc A is copied, transferred and then stored in a blank writable Blu-ray disc B.

It’s quite easy to learn that to realize 1:1 Blu-ray copy, several things are needed: original Blu-ray movie disc, target blank writable Blu-ray disc, a computer with Blu-ray drive recorder, and 1click Blu-ray copy software to copy Blu-ray discs on computer. If possible, 2 Blu-ray drives connected to the same computer would greatly save time as direct disc-to-disc Blu-ray backup is feasible. If only 1 Blu-ray drive is connected to computer, the disc to disc copy process could be a little bit complicated as it would go in disc-ISO-disc style, which means the Blu-ray disc needs firstly to be copied into a Blu-ray ISO image file (an ISO image file is a complete copy of an optical disc, including everything original optical disc gets), and then the generated Blu-ray ISO image file is burned to target blank Blu-ray disc to finish 1:1 Blu-ray copy process.

Tips for 1:1 disc to disc Blu-ray backup

  • 1. Which Blu-ray discs (BD50 or BD25) could be used as target Blu-ray disc?
    It depends on the original Blu-ray disc. For example: your original Blu-ray disc is BD50 disc, the target Blu-ray disc should be BD50 disc. A BD25 disc would not be sufficient in storage, which surely results in disc compression. BD25 for BD25 originals while BD50 for both BD25 and BD50 originals.
  • 2. What is the difference between BD-R and BD-RE discs?
    With BD-R (short for BD recordable) disc, you can burn files to a disc once (in one session), but you can’t delete files from the disc. Each burn is permanent. While with BD-RE (short for BD re-recordable) disc, you could burn files to a BD-RE more than once (multi session support). It can be burned and erased many times.
  • 3. Blu-ray copy speed
    The speed of copying a Blu-ray disc depends on several things: source Blu-ray disc content, Blu-ray reading speed, computer performance, Blu-ray copy software performance, etc. Graphics card acceleration could be made use of for speeding up Blu-ray backup.

Thus, if you want to copy Blu-ray discs with protections, you need firstly remove the Blu-ray disc protection. A Blu-ray copy software app that comes with Blu-ray disc decrypting is a must-have.
