I've been a broker to Cinram for about 5 years. They have been extremely cool about answering my questions. Here's their web site http://www.cinram.com/index3.html as a place to start. Let me know if you want to talk with them and I'll put you in touch with the plant manager.

Here is a primer, as per technical specifications, I will look. I had the whole PDF once upon a time...and can get it to you via email.

Yted,
If you have any specific questions, I will try to get the guys in the glass mastering dept. here to answer them for you. We manufacture CDs & make our own glass masters.
