USB Flash Drive Duplication a good alternative to Optical Media
August 5, 2009 by Brian G Fisher
USB Flash Drives have been gaining more and more traction in the data storage and media distribution front. We are seeing more companies who previously have distributed their digital media on CDs or DVDs move toward the more eco friendly and re-usable USB flash drives. We believe that this medium of delivering data will continue to grow and provide a re-usable solution to data delivery.
Top Tips for Manufacturing your DVD
August 4, 2009 by Brian G Fisher
There are two main tips for making sure that your DVD Duplication or Replication project goes off without a hitch.
1. Artwork prep, artwork prep, …artwork prep. This is the number one issue that will slow down a DVD project. Take the time to plan ahead and read our artwork specifications and use the proper templates. Back and forth on artwork corrections is the number one thing that will slow down the production of your DVD project. We do everything we can on our end to help adjust artwork to minimize problems, however, there are circumstances where we cannot make adjustments to your artwork to get it to fit our specs. Sending your artwork back for you to re-do will delay a project by at minimum of one day, so plan ahead.
2. If you are new to DVD authoring, plan to spend at least 3 times as much time as you think it will take to finish your DVD master. DVD authoring is not as simple as hitting a button and making a DVD master. Usually most clients who are new to DVD authoring find that there is a long period of trial and error before the actual DVD works the way they envisioned. Video Quality vs. Compression parameters, menu creation and authoring and system crashes seem to be the big three problems here. Plan ahead so you have you master ready to go.
Always remember that time is money in manufacturing. We can offer more reasonable prices at longer lead times, but as art or master problems arise, we will have to shorten our lead times to make your delivery date. Those shortened lead times come with rush fees and premium prices to make up for the quick turns.
