Host, media and preservation notes
- Separate drive-level disc support from playback application, region policy, codec licensing and any protected-video/HDCP requirements.
- Use supported media and a stable data/power connection; firmware, media quality, layer, recording mode and USB bandwidth affect actual speed.
- For an archival image, log drive model/firmware, host OS, software, media type, verification result and checksums.
