CD and DVD Duplication
What is Disc Duplication?
Duplication is the standard way quantities of 1 - 30,000 CD's or DVD'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.

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 new disc regardless of how it was copied. Most companies are now using duplicated discs instead of replicated ones because of the cost and time saved by this process and the ever-decreasing compatibility issue.
