  • dvd Duplicators- Can they include menus?

    Posted by Linda O’connell on July 24, 2008 at 2:49 am

    I feel naive for asking this…

    If I purchase a dvd tower duplicator, can it be hooked up directly to my computer to burn dvds that include a menu? I am using Sony Architect.

    If so, what should I look for in a tower duplicator..or does anyone have any recommendations?

    I am currently burning dvds off of my computer one at a time and am starting to get requests for 5-7 copies which is taking a long time. But I still want to be able to use menus.

    Thank you for your help.

    Linda, most towers that I know of cannot be hooked up to a computer to burn directly from the authoring software. What you would do is burn a one off from Architect and then place that master into the tower and duplicate your other copies from that.

    That being said if you burn your master from DVD Architect and it has menus, the duplicator will make exact copies, menus and all (Even if you have ROM content).
