Re: (TV) screenplay question

[robin dunn <rdunnrn@yahoo.com>]

a "silver disc" is one that is commercially burned -- rather than the type we burn as home, which are cd-rs.  on dime, people will say "from silver disc" to indicate the rip is straight from the original (fewer chances for digital errors).

you can tell when you buy a bootleg cd if it is a cd-r or a "silver" (commercially burned) disc by looking at it -- cd-rs sort of "show" the burned material -- you see the alternation in the silver disc.  "silver discs" are just straight silver -- you can't see that they've been "burned."

not sure if i've over- or under-explained.  hope that helps.
