Editing Disc Identification/Serialization Data

<div style="float:right">[[File:Anatomy of a PS4 Disc.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Anatomy of a PS4 Game Disc]]</div>

The [[Disc Identification/Serialization Data|Identification & Serialization Data]] from a PlayStation 4 [[Game Titles|Game Title]] contains several Information, which you can find not only on any Game Disc pressed for the [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]], but also similar for any [http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/ PlayStation 3] and/or any other Console-based Game Disc, and other Media pressed on CD, DVD and Blu-ray.

==== Mastering Plant SID-Codes ====

'''Note:''' There were no distinctions between a single-layer and a dual-layer Game Disc pressed on DVD, UMD and BD. Furthermore both PS2 and PS3 Game Titles pressed in {{flagonly|AT}} Austria shares the same Mastering Code since Sony DADC Austria AG moved the stampers from Anif to Thalgau until the end of March 2013, independently that the Mastering Code differs between PS2 and PS3 Game Titles.

=== Burst Cutting Area ===

A Pre-recorded Media Serial Number (PMSN), located inside the BCA, can be stored on a {{G|Blu-ray Disc}} (but extremely unlikely on PS3/PS4 Game Discs because there was an idea from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_Association Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA)] during the early development stages from the {{G|Blu-ray Disc}} to avoid online functions (BD-Live) from Blu-ray Movies burned on recordable Media - but which was <!--// as [[User:Roxanne]] knows //--> never in use since BD-Live works also on recordable Media even when the {{G|AACS}} copy protection is fully removed).

=== Angular Marks ===

'''Angular Marks''' are also a security measure to avoid piracy. It makes the difference that these Marks were located in the data area of a disc (outside the BCA). It works similar to the old Bad Sector copy protection, were the {{G|CD-ROM}} got pressed with zero-filled Physical Sector Numbers, which were unreadable for very old outdated optical disc drives without a RAW-writing function. Instead, the sectors are readable (error correction will fix the angular marks), but a special feature of the DVD controller allows recovering the bit-exact position and size of the laser mark. The result is then stored signed in the BCA, so that the reader can validate it. Since the laser marks are written after producing the discs, the marks cannot be as accurately as required to pass a given BCA. This method is used on the Nintendo GameCube<!--// and this is not GC devwiki.com ;) //-->, for example. This can be circumvented by placing strings of zeros in the actual bitstream, which - to the reader - look identical to an angular laser mark.
