Replicated DVDs

DVD is the standard for video distribution on physical media. However, it can hold any type of file that you want to put on it.

Shop wisely - There can be a vast difference in product quality from one disc manufacturer to another. Many people go with the lowest bid for their project, only to find their discs don't perform as well as they should due to unacceptable tolerances, (i.e. birefringence, pit geometry, reflectivity, jitter, etc.)

Our manufacturing plants are industry leading licensed and certified facilities. To maintain the production level our clients expect, we only partner with manufacturing facilities that share our level of standards and commitment to quality.

We stand behind our work. If our work does not meet the order specifications, we will do it right at no additional cost to you.

 

Replication vs Duplication?

DVD replication and duplication
       
DVD source materials   Source Materials
DATA: DVD-R, DVD+R, or DLT (record DVDs at 1x or 2x)
ART: Files to our specs.
(Download our DVD Kit for specs & tips, templates)

If needed, we can handle the authoring & premastering.
 
       
DVD replication turnaround   Turnaround <discs only>
Usually 8-10 working days from receipt of all production ready materials and approval of art proof. If we are printing packaging for your order, turnaround may be longer. Call for a schedule estimate or rush turn options.
 
       
DVD check discs   Data Check Discs (DVD-5 $275 / DVD-9 $375)
Most people skip this step when providing a recordable disc data source. However, if you are sending a DLT source, it is reassuring to see check discs before replication begins. Check discs are manufactured in the same manner as the final discs (but without artwork) and usually add about 4 working days to the turnaround time. If after testing your check discs, you decide to submit new source data, a re-mastering fee will apply. (DVD5 $550, DVD9 or 10 $750)
 
       
DVD art file   Disc Art
Our DVD-5 & 9 prices include up to 5 colors screen or offset printed onto the discs. ($15/color set up charge.) Reference our Kit and download the DVD art template. See our Screen Print Examples page for tips to help your discs look their best.

Understanding DVD

 

A DVD is the same physical size as a standard CD, but holds 7 - 25 times more. It can be formatted for Video or ROM (or both):

Features of DVD-Video

- High quality video & audio
- Instant access to any section of video
- Interactive menu navigation
- Alternate audio tracks for any video track
- (Playable on set-top DVD players and DVD compatible computers)

   
Features of DVD-ROM - Like a CD-ROM that holds more
- (Playable DVD compatible computers)

You can format your elements to the DVD spec and send us a DVD-R or DLT, or you can simply send us what you have, and we'll take care of the rest, (call for details).

Standard DVD Capacities

DVD5 Capacity - 4.7 billion-bytes (4.38GB) single sided, 1 data layer*
DVD9 Capacity - 8.5 billion-bytes (7.95GB) single sided, 2 data layers
DVD10 Capacity - 9.4 billion-bytes (8.75GB) dual sided, 1 data layer per side
* With computers, 1 KB data = 1024 bytes, so 4,700,000,000 bytes / 1024 = 4,589,844 KB / 1024 = 4,482 MB / 1024 = 4.377 GB.
