Question

If I copy a Blu-Ray on to a Blu-Ray Will I lose quality?

Answer 1

Uh, yeah I guess, don't ever ask complicated q's like this again it hurts my brain

Answer 2

Yeah you need to reword that.  I think you could lose some since a copy is usually not as clear as the original

Answer 3

Copying any DVD including BD is illegal. In order to copy it you would have to defeat its copy protection. There are programs that can do this but they are equally illegal. However, if you do manage to copy it you will not loose any quality.

Answer 4

No, you should not lose any quality al all. Copying a digital disk to another digital disk has the possibility of being a 100% perfect clone of the original. Because the source is digital there should be no degradation in the coding quality in the recovery or reburning process.

Not that's the only outcome though, if your source disk is badly degraded so that bits of it are unreadable then you will have an equally flawed copy. But you should not get any further degradation, it just won't be any better.

Remember this is a digital file that you are reading that has virtually unlimited signal to noise, so you do not get noise induced errors like you would from vinyl or from analog tape. A digital copy, when you make a bit-for-bit copy of the original, has the capability of being a perfect clone of the original. That is one reason why the media people were so slow to move to digital recording in the first place.

Blu Ray is a lossless compression type anyway so unlike certain types of jpeg for instance recopying does not degrade even if it is recompressed.

Answer 5

Confusing, but normally copy's do not have as good as quality as originals. .
