Basically laser etched dots and dashes on the media.
...
At a higher level, how are "files", the data you want on the disc whether it is text files, videos files or anything else, are written to the disc are also specified.
UDF is the common Bluray file system format used.
...
The Bluray video disc format simply specifies a standard way to encode videos (eg mpeg-2/4), in a speciifc directory layout (eg videos go into the STREAM folder), how menus are programmed (Java), etc.
If you take 1 video file and convert it to record to a bluray disc to make a bluray video disc, it'll get encoded, named, and placed in the correct files amd directories.
In addition, there is nothing stopping you from putting any other file (word, text, jpg, mp3, etc) in the same disc outside the Bluray video directories.
Store all the data you wish on Bluray recordable discs. This inclides putting an original copy of the video file on the disc as a data file, and the encoded bluray video version in the bluray video folders.
Super bowl, tv shows, news, ...everything on ota broadcast can be recorded, shared, tv commercials skipped.
I have one those for my Xbox One, which I believe should work on my PC. Is there any software you use to skip the commercials or is it a manual process?

I have this one. https://www.amazon.com/OWC-Mercury-Optical-External-Enclosure/dp/B06XRCCV44/ref=sr_1_3?crid=30WALDZN... [amazon.com]
I bought 2 of them. Works great. You don't need the adapter so the $50 or so will do just fine. Be careful to screw the drive in first then slide it in. I had a defect but amazon replaced easily. It's nice. U could also buy the drive and Vantec together for $96.
Now I know why my drive from 3-4 years ago couldn't load dvd or Blu-ray. It was dying and is dead now. And this popped up on sale.
I bought it originally to back up my photos. I have them on hdd but I'm more comfortable with Blu-ray's as yet third backup even if I have multiple hdd. It's difficult abandoning the old physical photo album but trying to declutter my house. Not easy.
I grew up on floppy disks (3 1/2 and 5 1/4 inch) as well as Zip drives. I find an appeal with them and so optical drives will always have a place in my home. I have access to so much streaming but I like the experience of playing off the drive now and then. So I think they will always phase in and out in cycles. I don't think I could ever go 100% streaming. It's nice to "disconnect" now and then and travel back to the 80s and 90s. It's sad that I can't find decent BDR that has proven consistency in good quality.
My current desktop computer doesn't have a 5.25" slot, so I run both of those drives from external cases, and I only have one external case with SATA for an internal interface. So while an upgrade to 4K would be nice, either buying another external case or kicking the blu-ray burner with a proven record for durability out of position and replacing it with a 4K friendly blu-ray burner with questionable durability, and then hoping that I don't screw something up and brick the drive when I void the warranty downgrading the firmware, and then hoping that the drive itself that no longer has a warranty and has questionable QC actually holds up for a substantial length of time, is a pretty tall order.
EDIT: No one asked but I'll take these drawbacks even one step further. You can make a 1:1 backup of an audio CD onto a CD-R and get it to play in a standalone CD player. You can make a 1:1 backup of a DVD movie onto a DVD+R DL (the maximum size that you would need) and get it to play in a standalone DVD player. You can make a 1:1 backup of a Blu-ray movie onto a BD-R DL (the maximum size that you would need) and get it to play in a standalone Blu-ray player. But you can't make a 1:1 backup of a 4K movie and expect it to play in a standalone player. They make 100GB BDXL media that would be big enough to fit the largest possible 1:1 copy of a 4K movie but if you look at the owners manuals of every single standalone 4K Blu-ray player, they all mention BD-R DL (50GB) being supported but are either silent about BDXL or explicitly state it is not supported. I suspect this is because the Blu-ray Association has not published any standards for authoring 4K content onto BDXL media. Several standalone 4K Blu-ray players have been tested and only one will consistently play BDXL, by accident: the Panasonic UB900. It's hard to find, around $1K if you do find it, and it doesn't do Dolby Vision. So if you want to backup a 4K Blu-ray movie that will play in a standalone player, you can't just do what in effect is a very very large copy+paste and make a 1:1 copy. You have to shrink the original disc down to BD-50 size whether it's by transcoding the whole disc at a lower bitrate, keeping only the main movie, or stripping out unneeded audio tracks and subtitles. I know most people rip the image/disc to a HD/server and play it from there but as you can see I'm very old school lol
1. backup important files to be preserved.
2. rip or copy damaged BR, DVD, CD.
1. I don't usually rip BR for my NAS. Streaming is enough for me, 4K, HDR, Dolby ATMOS.
2. I don't usually play BR, DVD, CD.
I don't understand these.
1. I have many BR, DVD burners including unopened.
2. I have many blank media.
Most of people don't need those burners except ripping people or someone who lives in the rural area where hard to get the streaming service like Netflix something.
This construction definitely leads to faster bit rot than if there weren't multiple pieces effectively glued together. I've never had issues with bit rot on any professionally pressed music CD, going back to the early 1980s, but I've definitely had failure of multiple pressed DVD discs that got a lot less playtime, and just sat in their packaging for 15+ years. Very frustrating for a disc to just go bad sitting on the shelf.
