Yes, copy, of course. Didn't think it was so simply. Guess a translator does sometimes get trapped by the language used in the source text. Thank you, Martin, for pulling me out of the trap.

agree  Jason Ma: 能否解释一下烧录、转录，刻录。平常老碰到此类说法。谢谢！
30 mins
  -> 刻录是大陆的标准说法，烧录是台湾的说法，英文都是都是write/record
agree  franksf: "Burn a CD/DVD" is also common as far fewer people rewrite the rewritable ones, burn once and read until the media die.

agree  orientalhorizon: yes, for the explanations given later, this is the most correct one, "copy" may also be used, but "reproduction" is good enough.
