How to make quality DVD Duplications
January 10, 2009
There are a few simple rules to making solid copies of your DVD project.
DVD Duplication is basically the burning from one master DVD to another DVD R disc. Most home computers have DVD Burners on them, and most Video and Film editors and professionals…and beginners…. should always consider these three things when making copies of their DVD projects.
1. Use a good burner-look into technical reviews of the burner you have….go to forums on DVD burners and get objective opinions on burners. The short of the story is that you get what you pay for. A $29 burner will most likely not give you very good results. If you spend $100 on a good brand name that is proven, you will have more success.
2. Use good media, only use top tier media, plain and simple,…..Taiyo Yuden, Sony, Falcon, Verbatim. In my onpinion, that is it. Don’t try to save a few pennies on cheaper media. These are droves of companies selling cheap media that will result in bad copies and angry and frustrated customers.
3. When you burn your disc, leave your computer alone. If you are running concurrent or background tasks on your machine while your DVD Duplication is going, you risk a glitch in the disc due to buffer problems and IRQ interruptions.
That’s about it, do these three things, and you will most likely have a trouble free time of burning quality DVDs on your computer.

Quality DVD Duplication Companies
November 15, 2008
There are a lot of DVD Duplication companies out there. CD and DVD Duplication services are widely perceived as a commodity, but this is not the case in most instances. DVD Duplication Services can vary widely depending on the the company, what type of equipment the company uses and the materials used.
The components that make up a DVD product are,
1. cases
2. insert printing
3. disc printing
4 disc blanks
Every one of these components can be produced or sourced cheaply and often result in lower quality. The converse is also true, high quality components will result in a high quality end product.
So the key to finding a good DVD Duplication Company is to ask questions about the quality of the above mentioned components.
Secondarily, look into the companies quality policy,….do they back up their product, do they openly share information about the quality of their work and where referrals and other objective evaluations of their work can be found.
The bottom line is that like with most things you get what you pay for. Good media, boxes and printing costs more. Well managed businesses that respect, understand, and service, the needs of their clients also takes good training, organization and commitment. All of these things contribute to manufacturing a high quality DVD Duplication.
