CD/DVD Quality

The use of inferior discs will cause some discs not to run on some machines. This is particularly true of duplicated DVDs. We use only Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim media, which are a little more expensive, but well worth the extra cost.

There are stories put out by suppliers who do not offer duplication services, claiming that replicated CDs are superior in compatibility to duplicated CDs. This may have been true over 10 years ago, because some now very very old CD players were not designed to run duplicated or recordable CD-R, but all modern CD players will play duplicated CDs. The same applies to recordable DVDs, where very early DVD players were not built to play duplicated DVDs, but these DVD players would be very rare today.

The truth is that if a quality recordable disc is used, it will work everywhere and last as long as a properly produced replicated disc. Producing quality replicated CDs and DVDs requires considerable care and knowledge, as there are over 600 variables in replicating, although it is rare to find unplayable replicated DVDs, although we have had commercial DVDs that have stopped playing after some use. However dual layer DVD, is a different matter, and we believe that over 10% of DVD players will not play dual layer duplicated video media. We therefore suggest that if you have more than 4.5 GB of contents, split it over 2 standard recordable DVDs. The cost is about the same as Dual Layer DVD recordable DVDs are relatively expensive.

What is Duplication?

CD/DVD/Blu-ray Duplication is where every disc is recorded in a disc writer onto pre-manufactured recordable blank CD-R, DVD-R or DB-R media. We use only premium brand, licensed discs to ensure that your discs will be compatible with players, and that they will last a very, very long time. The last thing that you want is to produce 100s of discs, and then have your users complaining that they do not work. Our 50 years disc duplicating experience between our 4 senior staff ensure that your discs will always function perfectly!
