It takes about two years to get on the schedule. So if nothing by WB was in the works to get pressed Blu-Rays of the remastered Dallas in wide retail release, it isn't likely coming anytime soon. The only way that it would come sooner is by MOD (manufacture-on-demand) release.In optical media manufacturing, there is basically two processes, replication and duplication. Replication refers to the officially pressed media that gets wide retail release. This is the manufacturing process in which the data is pressed or stamped onto the disc (all at once) in a replication facility which enables much greater numbers to be produced. Duplication refers to copying the disc, usually on writable media, using a laser to write the data linearly. Usually this is done by a DVD/BD-R writer or a bank of them writing a run of them at a time. This is usually for smaller runs as not as many copies can be produced as in replication because the process takes much longer per disc.</blockquote>
