Our clients often ask about the processes needed to make high-quality DVD copies and they’re interested in knowing about the differences between DVD and CD Duplication and Replication.  With that knowledge and our guidance, they can make the most informed decision.

CD or DVD Duplication or DVD burning is the most common term.  It means your information is copied onto a blank recording media like a DVD-R or CD-R.  At Moss Media Lab less than 500 DVD copies are considered a small quantity.  Those numbers of CDs & DVDs are typically duplicated, since it is the most cost-effective way to produce smaller numbers of discs.  Most often, we turn your job around in two to three days but if time is of the essence, ask about our 24 hours service.

Here at Moss Media Lab, the first thing we do when you bring us your data to have DVD copies made is to do a verification check.  This is to assure you that all the information is as it should be and that there are no problems with the original.  In short, there’s no point in burning a bad CD or DVD.

Every job we run conforms to the book standard of excellence so that you are assured of the highest compatibility on the best duplication media available.  As the run is in progress, we sample your discs as the final step in quality control.

CD or DVD Replication is a more specialized service and refers to optical disc manufacturing where your video, music or data is replicated by injecting a mould with an optical grade thermoplastic polycarbonate to create a glass master.  Replication offers the highest quality and most durable method of manufacture, giving you the highest percentage in compatibility with DVD players.

Further, DVD replication is the most cost-effective solution for larger orders.  And even though the set up cost of producing a glass master may be higher, when an order is sufficiently large, the unit cost of each DVD or CD is low and therefore the cost is balanced.   Replication of media takes a little longer to produce but you’ll be surprised how quickly we can have your CD or DVD copies back in your hands.

At Moss Media Lab, our policy is to search across country for the best quality and the best price for each replication order that comes through the door.  We have established professional relationships with a number of firms whose business it is to create glass masters and we are pleased to pass on that excellence to you.

For every job, from one to several thousand DVD copies, at Moss Media Lab we use the highest grade media and state-of-the art systems.  We never take short cuts when we make DVD copies.  Our media is guaranteed to work on any machine.   It’s a point of professional pride.
