Until the CD-DVD gets any scratch or is broken, there is no wastage. If it gets any of this whole material is wastage.
As for as the wastage in its production is concerned, click the link given below to know in detail

Music definitely: the physical space actually used to burn an entire vinyl 33 1/2 r.p.m. music album on a CD is under half an inch in diameter; the rest is totally unused....and being sold for $13 to $20 per CD!!! That space can be used to record another full music album for the same price, which would be worth the money charged way I see it.

Computer software: It's packaging is an outright waste of cardboard paper, evidently to justify their steep retail prices. You find it's a savvy well engineered cardboard box of fluff, containing a mere CD disc inside. Much like those video games in the 80's and PCs today: A tall shell hides small miniaturized computer hardware.

A friend told me you can actually see cool sparks when you put a cd or dvd in a microwave oven. He said just make sure you only run the microwave for a few seconds - 5 sec max. And put something underneath so you don't damage the bottom of the oven. I imagine this gets rid of the main wastes.

the main wastes originated in the CD-DVD production are in my opinion the fact that piracy has caused many companies to lose profits on producing DVDs and Music Cd's oh and free downloads (live wire, I also think Napster too but I'm not sure)

Mass production of CDs and DVDs is the biggest waste because there are excess discs produced. In this modern era of broad-band and mass storage, CDs and DVDs should be produced in-store as needed.

With the technology we have now it's amazing that huge corporations haven't invested movies on memory sticks or something similar to that, rather wasting there money selling a product that will be worthless within 10 years. I guess my point is that CD-DVD production is one giant waste.

The fuel required to create the plastics, power the factories and propel the cargo ships transporting the physical media to consumers is the biggest waste. A digital delivery method (ideally wireless) would be reusable, require less energy and produce far less waste. Consumers have the power to dictate what is acceptable by being more responsible in their purchases.

Well obviously plastic and metals used in creating the disk

But you also have electricity, and, manpower, used to create a 12 song cd with 1 or 2 good songs on them.

Folic acid and titanium sulfide. To recycle those amonnia and sulfuric acid are substained. Another idea I have is to dismount the titanium sulfide into titanium sulfate and hidrogen oxide, and put the folic acid into manure and water to obtain calcium and urea, along with improved manure with added nitrogen.
Titanium sulfate, heavy water and manure make titanium alloy and titanium fiber, both authentic polymers which sustain life at high temperature. The hidrogen oxide and the calcium mixed with some fiberglass or milk carton get boiled in more water and calcium sulfite, to produce a mass to be set in a furnace for borax and pullet for condensors and other motor pieces.

most of the movies that they are putting on DVD are crap and well as 90% of the CD's, so the main wastes are time, effort and plastic

I used to work at production plant for CD cases and they were recycled if flawed, so the main waste would be the energy to grind them up and re-heat them to make them into cases.
