Some analysts have said a significant challenge facing BD would be its cost of replication. Because its technology diverges significantly, it can't be incorporated into the DVD replication processes. Some thought this would make BD replication prohibitively expensive. At the center of the issue was BD's O.lmm protective layer. Applying that substrate required investment in new technology and a change in replication lines.
Replicators, however, have been working on cost-effective techniques. There are two approaches: film bonding and...
