BCA stands for burst cutting area, a zone near the hub of a DVD reserved for a barcode that can be etched into the disc by a YAG laser. Since barcode cutting is independent of the stamping process, each disc can have unique data recorded on it, such as a serialized ID. DVD readers can use the laser pickup head to read the BCA. The BCA is used by CPRM (see 1.11) and Divx (see 2.10) to uniquely identify each disc.
