One of the layers (the surface one) is made in such a way that a sufficiently strong laser light can "shine through" it to reach the second layer.

How do Dual layer DVD work?

Answer: How dual layer CD drives workCheck out this website: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/cd-burner.htm The main difference between a single layer and dual layer CD is that a dual layer CD or DVD has two layers of film on which data can be written to. One layer (the bottom one) is semi-silvered so that depending on the intensity of the laser, data can be read on each surface. The laser adjusts its intensity accordingly to which layer it want to read/write from.


How can you make a DVD player from CD player?

You cannot. A DVD's information is encoded differently than that of a music CD, as well as being up to 8x as dense (for a dual-layer DVD). Additionally, a dual-layer DVD uses two different wavelengths of laser to read the two layers. It's a completely different technology. DVD players can play music CD's, because they were designed to be backwards-compatible.

How does a red laser to read dvds differ from blue-violet laser?

Red laser is normally used to read CDs while blue-violet laser is used to read DVDs. The reason is that blue-violet is a higher energy laser with a much smaller wavelenght - 650 billionths of a meter -, so the pits on the DVD's can be smaller and closer together than those on the CDs'.
