Replicated DVDs

The success of the DVD format has been nothing short of phenomenal. Featuring interactive menus with direct access to the video we want, the beautiful audio/video quality, alternate audio tracks, subtitles, foreign language support, wide screen, bonus computer files, no rewinding - what a jump from the days of VHS tape! DVD is now the world-wide standard for video distribution on physical media.

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 optical disc manufacturing tolerances.

Our DVD manufacturing facilities are licensed and certified. 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.

The following prices include the mastering fee and manufacturing of your discs with up to 5 colors screen or offset printed onto the discs.

See our Packaging Options Page for a vast array of choices.

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):

	- 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)
	- 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).
