What Is The Difference between DVD Replication and DVD Duplication?
---------- This no doubt is a question that you may ask yourself when determining how to copy your valuable data to CD or DVD.
DVD Duplication and DVD Replication are the two procedures you have at your disposal when copying your valuable data. Here are the main differences. DVD Duplication: This is the process that most of us are familiar with. Its more widely known as burning. You can do this on your own home PC provided you have a CD or DVD write capable drive. Its fairly inexpensive and you can get blank disks that can be burnt either as record once or record write. Record write enables you to burn to the same disk as many times as you like. Its best for small runs of 500 or less disks. You can get dedicated duplicating machines that have many drives and a robotic arm to swap the disks as they are burnt. This means you can leave the whole process running unattended. DVD Replication: A glass master is made, then a set of molds or stampers are made from the master. The stampers are then mounted into an injection-mold machine, where a replica of the mold is created. The disc is then coated with a layer of aluminium that is very thin and reflective. Ultraviolet light is used to harden a lacquer that is spun onto the disc. Its best for runs that are greater than 1,000. Generally there is a small set up cost associated with making the glass master. However once the glass master is made, the whole process is very quick and large amounts of DVD or CD disks can be produced quickly.
