That was too cool. But did they skip the part about where they write the data?

48000 discs a day made, up to 108 thousand discs packaged a day, they need to buy at least 3 more machines. Is this why films are taking so long to come out.

TDK 600.000 copies first day. 12.5 days of production
Ironman 500.000 first week. 10.4 days
Matrix 780.000 first week. 16.25 days

At full capacity running 24 hours a day.
I know I am anal for doing the math.
Thanks OP for the post.

These are pressing machines, I am sure the time spent authoring the disc never entered the equation here. Its amazing how ones speck of dust can ruin the whole batch

Thank you will, that was very informative. I had no idea so much went into the production of these discs in my cabinets.

Did not see that, but still, they need to have more machines to run the plant at full capacity.
