This process can get detailed and if you are interested in learning more, you can do a search for pressed media vs. burned media and youll find out about the processes in their entirety. But in simple terms, pressed media is done by using very expensive machinery. This way Hollywood can get up to 8.5 GBs onto a single sided DUAL LAYER disc. Most of the commercial discs you purchase (such as the movies you buy) are dual layer. The movie may be on one layer, and the special features, etc. on the other.
