1. Title - Brief Introduction to DVD Replication
Content:
DVD replication is the only method in order to achieve a true retail
DVD product. While duplication, or commonly referred to as
“burning”, of blank media is often convenient for low volume or fast
turnaround, shops or internet retailers would only ever stock genuine
manufactured product – in other words those that have been
produced via the DVD replication method.
In order to provide quantities that are 100% identical, DVD replication
requires a glass master which is created from the original master and
a stamper is grown. The discs are then all pressed from this stamper
resulting in every copy being an exact replicate. Prior to the glass
mastering, the original master is checked for errors via software such
as Eclipse. Should errors outside of the tolerance level be present,
glass mastering cannot proceed and therefore new original master
would be required. Such checks are vital to be sure the DVD
replication process can only provide product that will guarantee to
play in all players.
Unlike DVD replication, any discs that are burnt will be different to
each other and errors will be duplicated also. Therefore should an
original have many errors that are undetected, duplicates are likely to
have at least the same number of errors which is likely to result in
playback problems for some players. Because discs produced via
DVD replication are all identical and initially error checked, playability
problems would not be an issue.
Retail outlets do not want excessive volume of returned faulty
products and therefore it is common knowledge that duplicated discs
would cause such problems. This is probably the main reason stores
would only stock product made via DVD replication however there
can also be quality concerns with the final appearance.
Most discs that are burnt will have a blue/purple base colour whereas
professionally produced discs from DVD replication are silver. The
surface print is either screen or litho printed rather than inkjet or

2. thermal printed as is common for duplication resulting in sub standard
quality. Sleeves and inserts for duplicated discs are also printed as
either inkjet or digitally rather than the professional litho print that
comes as standard with DVD replication.
In conclusion it is essential to be aware of problems with burnt media
– especially if you are planning a retail product. Your DVD can only
have a chance to reach retail outlets if they have been produced via
DVD replication.
