Inside Sony DADC: The Birth of a Blu-ray Disc

Australian news website news.com.au recently visited one of the Sony DADC factories that produces Blu-ray discs and got a behind-the-scenes look at the production of our favorite high definition media. Sony was gracious enough to allow them to take some photos, and they are now sharing their experience with the world. To view the photos, click on the source link below.

On a slightly parallel comment: Strange that Sony DADC in Manaus, Brazil, is pressing Blu-Ray discs, but they are hard to find at street stores and on-line vendors are selling most titles at approximately 48 US dollars or more. No wonder the format is still to catch on in this country!

I want a "How It's Made" marathon of just tech stuff like this. That show is like porn for technology geeks. Motherboards and microchips have pretty interesting manufacturing processes too.

In the first picture, is that not the new Harry Potter: Ultimate Edition Year 3?

I bet an HD factory was half the size :-)

Bet the HD factory was careless about dust :P I woulda loved to see a video. where it spins around. Do one of those Discovery channel things like How it's made or whatever they call it now.

Awesome. Nice to see how it all comes together. Yes woodley56 that is the new Harry Potter year 3.

Wish they had provided some captions describing what was being done in each image. Still, a very cool look behind those closed doors.

This was very interesting. I wish it would have gone over the Blu-ray laser and how many nanometers it is as well as what Sony has in plans to make the laser even smaller to pack in more data.
