After several ''Mother Disc(s)'' were created, it needs to create again ''negative'' copies to use them finally for replication. Those called '''Son Disc(s)''' (or '''stamper''') have already the same form like a retail Disc including the central opening and can be finally used for the replication process. Those ''stampers'' keeping their properties for ordinary five years, but even if some gets consumed, it's still possible to create copies from one of the ''Mother Disc(s)'' or even from the ''Father Disc'' itself, if needed.

==== Code Explanation ====
Those codes are also detectable in the inner ring (outside the data section) nearby the [[Disc Identification/Serialization Data#Source Identification Code|Mastering Plant SID-Code]], with regional distinctions but with the same rule. Every code gets printed separately (with a hyphen between the codes from the ''Father''- and the ''Mother Disc''), while dual-layer Discs shares only the code from the ''Father Disc''. In spite of that, physical [[Game Titles]] released in Japan for both on the PlayStation 3 and [[Console Information|PlayStation 4]] contains the [[Productcode]] instead of a '''Matrix Code''' (which is a characteristic feature for the Japanese market using [[Productcode]]s and other catalogue numbers for serialization). This Code is also parted with a hyphen because of the same rule (but without any difference between single-layer and dual-layer Discs because there is only one [[Productcode]] printed two times on a dual-layer Disc). However, beginning with PS5 Discs, Sony began to print the [[Productcode]] together with the standard '''Matrix Numbers''' outside of the Japanese market as well.

* When burning a PlayStation 4 Game Title on BD-R (not sure if a BD-RE works too) and inserting it in the PlayStation 4, the system will display that the "''Disc is not supported on this device''" (CE-34876-8 with the question mark logo). If you try to start the Game from the Menu, which has the same Files you burned on your BD-R, the "smooth blending" appears for approximately 0.5 seconds and then it says that "''There is no disc inserted''" (CE-33191-7). If you try to start any other Game which doesn't share the same Files burned on your BD-R, it will immediately say that the "''Wrong Disc is inserted''" (CE-34867-8 - but which seems that this last Error Code is normal since this gets displayed even when you inserting a BDMV in the PlayStation 4). This "smooth blending" appears only at the first try but if you remove and insert the Disc again, or restarting the PlayStation 4, the same effect will happen again. Also after trying to start the Game from BD-R, the Game will jump on the left side from the Menu, as the same happens when you play a Game normally from a PS4 BD-ROM (showing the Game which was played at last).
