DVD Replication provides a long-term solution to store higher volumes of data than a CD. DVD Replication is the industry standard procedure for manufacturing DVDs.

DVD Replication Process

Whereas DVD Duplication uses enhanced DVD-R media and ‘burns’ the data to a heat-sensitive surface, DVD Replication actually “presses” the audio onto an aluminium and plastic disc, creating physical pits in the surface. This is then covered in a clear plastic layer, to stop the pits collecting dirt and dust.

There are two main DVD options: DVD-5 and DVD-9. DVD-5 can store 4.7GB of data (up to 2 hours of video), whereas DVD-9 stores 8.54GB of data (about 4 hours of video footage). The only physical difference between the two types of disc is that DVD-9 dics are dual layer, whereas DVD-5 discs are single layer. We have pricelists below for both types. DVD-10 is another option, which is double sided (you turn the disc over to use the other side) and can store 9.4GB of data. You can only print on the hub of these discs as both sides contain data and for these practical reasons we do not offer DVD-10 replication. Note that these figures of disc capacity, which are standard throughout the industry, use the Japanese Gigabyte which is 1000MB. Elsewhere, 1GB = 1024MB. See this external link for more information on DVD Capacity.

Uses of DVD Replication

The process is ideal for orders of 500 units or more. The reason for this is that whilst the setup cost of producing a glass master and formatting the machines for your job is high, the cost of producing each unit is very low. When you are producing 500 DVDs or more, the costs of DVD Replication are generally lower than the costs of DVD Duplication.
