Top 3 DVD Duplication Burning Tips

If you are going to be burning a DVD+/-R, there are 3 simple rules you can follow to get a great burn.

1.  Always use good media blanks – probably the best way to ensure that you get a good DVD burn is to buy quality media.  Taiyo Yuden, Sony and Verbatim are three of the best and will give you excellent results.

2. Once you start burning your disc, don’t touch your computer until it is done burning your disc.  When you use other applications while burning discs, the file interrupts can cause a hiccup in the disc.  Your disc may play fine, but there will still be a higher likelyhood for errors.

3. Verify your burn. – on many DVD burner softwares, you can go into the options and check a box that will verify the burn once your disc is done burning.  The software should then tell you that your disc has been burned and that the content has been verified.

If all three of these steps are taken, you can be sure that you have a great DVD burn that should be reliable and work for many years to come.
