  • No packing or compressing (taring, zipping, stuffing)
  • One Checksum file for each folder is mandatory Example.

Checksum File specification

  • To prevent data security it is mandatory to add a plain text file containing the MD 5 checksum information for each file in the folder.
  • Master images with missing corresponding checksums won’t be processed without written confirmation by the customer.
  • The checksum file must be located into the BDCMF folder. Filename: Checksum.md5

Notice:

  • If the master parameters correspond to the allowed norms, the information is replicated from the given medium at ratio 1:1, i.e., we do not make any changes neither before nor during the production process; therefore the data given by the customer remains the same.
  • Blu-ray masters cannot be protected with any data protecting programmers (e.g. CSS or other).
  • Master stampers are stored in our factory and are not handed over to the third parties in any conditions.
