How To Use Rewritable Blu-ray

Rewritable Blu-ray media works very similarly to reusable CD and DVD formats. First, consumers new to this exciting media storage format should carefully check to make sure they're purchasing rewritable rather than write-once Blu-ray discs. The two are distinguishable by the suffixes attached to the BD code used to define Blu-ray. BD-R discs can only be written once, while BD-RE discs are rewritable.

How the Rewritable Blu-ray Disc Process Works

After the initial burning process is complete, users can enjoy the media stored on the disc or transfer the files to another computer before erasing its contents via a simple user interface. Depending on the specific BD drive or data duplication unit in use, this interface may be accessed through an attached personal computer or via a built-in central processing unit.

The user will have to confirm his or her intention to erase the disc, as interfaces require confirmation before wiping a media format clean. Then, the user can start the burning process all over again, just as though the rewritable Blu-ray disc had never had anything on it. Advanced units designed for mass duplication of discs can also function at varying speeds, slowing down or speeding up the burning process as the user desires.
