    duplication or replication

    Posted by Nelson May on January 15, 2008 at 5:53 am

    I have to sub out a project for a corporate DVD. I assume I should go duplication on this for the best price correct? I know replication is a glass master and the DVDs or molded. For a corporate project is replication the way to go.

    Is there also a link on the process to get a DVD ready to send it to a mastering house?

    Hi Nelson,

    Whether to duplicate or replicate all rather depends on numbers. We duplicate for smaller numbers 100-300 and replicate for larger numbers 500+. It actually works out cheaper in many cases when ordering over a thousand, and replication seems to have less errors.

    We send off the DVD-R master created in DVD Studio Pro and the glass master is made from this.

    Regards

    Bridget
