Does anyone know what brand DVD's have a silver colored recordable side, like commercial CD's and DVD's? I can't seem to find this info anywhere. Thanks, Wendy

You won't. Commercial DVDs are pressed in a machine and not burned with a laser like in a DVD drive.

Hi, someone sent me one, so I am sure they exist. Wish I could remember where the disk went so I could ask the person!

All recordable DVDs use a purple dye on the recordable side, although there may be some variation in the depth of color. There are burnable CDs with a silver burn side. Are you sure you weren't sent a VideoCD?

DVD RWs have a very dark (yet somewhat silvery) recording side, but not purple like once writable DVDs and not light silver like commercial DVDs.

Read by a laser, it gets burned by a laser!!! You're all mistaken when it comes to commercial DVD movies that you buy. I have spoken with allot of people and I have enjoyed fooling them with some error but today I am going to tell the 100 percent truth.
On all commercial DVD's and CD's, there is a silver dye that gets BURNED, yes by a laser the very same method we burn our purple dye CD's and DVD's. The LABELS ( the art work) is pressed onto the actual CD and DVD for that professional look. Some are even painted with state of the art printers. The type of paint they used is waterproof Acrylic, which is some people have ruined older DVD's from the 90's with cleaning solution that were alcohol based. If you had one like say the movie... "Hackers" when first released on DVD -- the label is a waterproof acrylic paint and is not rubbing alcohol friendly...do you dare to compare...It's a good thing they re-released Hackers because not only was the label crap so was the actual plastic DVD was crap. I still have the first release of hackers and the center hole is split and the label came off when I used a professional disc cleaning system that used an alcohol based cream solution.
You should all investigate this for yourselves. Get a free dvd sent in the mail from tomorrows world -- get their 2012 dvd and take it apart by tapping a screw driver on the edge until the sandwich layer splits -- pull it apart and rub your finger on it....wow look at that silver on your finger!! -
Incorrect,commercial dvds get pressed from a glass master,maybe cheap commercial dvds are burned.
I think,therefore i am a hamster. -
Duplication is usually by burning, but rarely used with commercial discs unless the quantity is very low.
Replication is by pressing from a glass master, usually in large quantities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BHNyTTx9W8&feature=related

I don't have to investigate this at all as I live it 5 days a week. I work in a facility that both duplicates (or burns) DVD-R screeners (that require a specific type of copy protection that is not compliant to the DVD standard) and replicates (or presses) DVD screeners and commercial discs from glass masters (that have the standard types of copy protection). That's not a silver dye in the DVD you pulled apart. It's the added reflective layer required to bounce the laser back into the player so it can read the information that is on the injected CLEAR layer.

Ummm... yeah.....
Ummm..... yeah....
I think you are the one that needs to do some "investigating".
It's always amusing to see the truly clueless stating incorrect information as certain fact, like they actually have a clue
Especially digging up a 3 year old thread to state incorrect information.....
P.S.
You forgot about the extra large burners they used to put Laserdisc's into to "burn" them!
The only reason they never released home laserdisc burners was because home PC's were not large enough to house them.
And don't forget about Video Disc burners.......

This video easily shows how wrong you are:
NOTE: When the video uses the word "die" understand that it refers to a diecasting mold process, as used to create the master. It's not a "dye". Listen carefully, don't skim with your ears.

He can't use the quote function properly either.
Most of what has been quoted as my text is his own ridiculous ramblings.
Don't be arguing with someone who has taken apart commercial and non commercial DVD's and CD's
Let me respond with something he may understand: "You talkin' shit, don't be trippin' fool."

So, are there non-purple recording layer DVD blanks??
More than 10 years ago, I remember CD-Rs in a variety of recording layer colors (and presumably the recording dye or material itself). There were dark blue, green, light green, etc. Now it's nearly colorless. Why didn't recordable DVDs evolve in the same way? Or is there just strictly one chemical formulation for them that so happens to be purple??For the nth time, with the possible exception of certain Intel processors, I don't have/ever owned anything whose name starts with "i". -

More often, however, the colors were caused by the foil and plastics used, to give the illusion of various colors. Playstation games are a great example of this. The black bottom blocked most visible light, but allowed the laser spectrum to pass. Crack open a disc, and you'll find a standard metal foil (no dye, of course) and black plastic. Memorex "Cool Colors" CD-R came in black too, leading to a myth for a while there that Playstation used Memorex CD-R, and that's all you need to copy games (no modchips, etc).
Modern "silver" CD-R are simply very pale green or blue, and use a whiter/lighter foil. It's all optical illusion.Last edited by lordsmurf; 31st Aug 2010 at 17:44.
