To understand the duplication of DVDs and their benefits should be aware of terminology and be able to distinguish between DVD duplication and DVD replication. DVD Duplication is the process of duplicating data on disk is made of pre-existing (also known as "burning"). This disk, known as DVD-R (Digital Versatile Disc Recordable represents), loaded into the burner where the information was extracted through a digital medium from primary sources. Data is then recorded on DVD-R recordable media using lasers found in the smaller unit recording or duplicating machines. This information is verified and machine to accept or reject the copied version. After verifying the disc moves into phase printing (printing is required). This is where the inkjet or thermal printers (using graphics files, known as "works of art") printed on the upper surface of each new CD-R or DVD-R. This process is inconvenient to use (create a fast lead time) and cheaper than the cost of installation of replication to a minimum. If a small number of disks required, usually less than 1000 units, duplication is the process of selection.
Replication (also known as "push") is used when the amount of disk mass needed to be done. This is a more professional production process, where raw material is run through a printing machine that produces DVD discs large base. First, the glass master is made from a client who supplied the original, stamped or pressed physical data to another blank disc (later covered and protected with polycarbonate plastic). Most of these processes are fully automated replication (re-write the information only once to a master of glass) and per unit cost cheaper when asked over a thousand units. A draw back is that replication has a long lead and may have a rotation of two weeks or more.
Understanding the difference between duplication and replication allows you to select the correct process based on their needs. The key difference to consider is the cost benefit associated with the amount and speed of your needs. In the case of finished products, there is no difference in quality or consistency between replicated and duplicated disks. In general, the DVD technology moving at a very rapid and there is a new generation of all optical discs (SL 4.7GB, 8.5GB and 9.4GB DL DS). DVD duplication offers unlimited potential for storing digital media and exhibitions, offering video resolution of impressive audio performance and entertainment for both the domestic and professional.
