DVD replication is a process which transfers data or information from the main source – the master DVD- to other blank discs. It is a common misconception that the process of DVD duplication and DVD replication are same, as the process is different, although they are both used for making copies.
Differences between DVD replication and DVD duplication
DVD replication is the process of pressing copies of a DVD glass master onto aluminum or polymer blank discs. During this process, a glass master is created, which stamps the data onto the DVDs, whereas in the duplication process, the data is burned onto recordable DVDs.
The DVDs which are produced have the same high quality as the original.
Both processes produce the same outcome but the difference lies in the number of copies which are produced. In DVD replication, the number of copies is usually more than 1,000. For those who want less than 1,000 copies, DVD duplication is the ideal option.
Recently, new techniques have been developed in the field of DVD replication, and one of these techniques is dual layer DVD replication. This process is specially made to store large amounts of data or huge number of files on one DVD.
DVD replication and DVD duplication are both cost effective ways of copying DVDS to extremely high standards and are great for individuals and businesses alike.
