Disc Duplication
Duplication is the standard method
when quantities of 1 - 10,000 disc's are produced. The
original disc is placed in a reader which then copies the data
onto a hard drive. The master is ejected and blank discs are
then loaded into the system. Your data is burned (transferred)
to the blank discs. The information is verified and the copy
then accepted or rejected. Because disc burn speed has
increased greatly over the years, it is now possibly to duplicate
large quantities of DVD's in a very short time.
Replication
Replication is the method used to
produce mass quantities (over 10,000) of disc's. A
“glass master” of your original is made which in turn
"stamps" the data onto blank media. The disc is then
printed and lacquered for protection. Replication generally
takes a much longer time then duplication because of the necessary
added steps which can add 7-14 days to complete. Another
factor is that a "clean room" environment must be
maintained for proper "Mastering". The slightest
piece of lint, dirt, etc. can flaw the master, with the defect
carried over to the stamped copies.
Is There any
Difference?
There is
no difference in the disc's except for a slight compatibility
issue between the two processes. A replicated disc will work
on all DVD players and computer drives. A duplicated disc will
work on players that will read a DVD-R disc. Almost all modern
set-top players and computers can play this format. In short,
there is VERY LITTLE difference between a duplicated or
replicated disc. If you have menus, chapters, alternate sound
tracks, extras, etc. on your original, it will be on the the
new disc regardless of how it was copied. Most companies are
now using duplicated disc's instead of replicated ones because
of the cost and time saved by this process and the ever
decreasing compatibility issue. |
