Creating DVD Copies

Miniaturization is a wonderful technological advance. Without it, the computer will need a whole room to house all its components. Since the parts are huge, the cost for making them would be astronomical as well. As end users, we will not be able to afford to buy a computer. Only large corporations and government institutions will be able to afford them and to a very limited extent. Imagine the FBI having only one computer to use in a state or city. That would spell real trouble for city or state police since their funding comes from the local level that would mean they'd really have only one computer to work with.

But because of miniaturization, costs of raw materials are significantly reduced which reduces cost of production as well. This gives us the purchasing power to buy one or two computers for our homes. With these computers come accessories such as CD players and recorders. More recently, DVD ROM recorders came out for personal computers. For those of us who need to update storage technology of recorded memorabilia, the DVD is the perfect solution to the problem. The DVD, aside from having higher visual and aural fidelity, has more storage capacity than a CD.

 

If you happen to want or need a copy of a movie you just bought to preserve the original, DVD duplication is the best and most technologically advanced solution right now. The same thing can be said for duplicating your games or music. DVD duplication is use the same process to print information on a CD. It's a burn-and-print technology that involves very little set-up and is quite simple using burn software that is currently available.

 

DVDs do not last forever. The thin aluminum layer that reflects the light of the player's laser is susceptible to oxidation that causes the discs to deteriorate. Never use off-the-shelf markers or ballpoint pens to write on the discs or labels. Most markers contain chemicals that allow air to penetrate the aluminum. When this happens, oxidation takes place. The oxidation process on DVDs is pretty much the same way iron rusts in open air. Special pens made specifically for writing on DVD or CD discs are available in the market.

 

Remember to always look for the best solution to your duplicating needs. Using a DVD ROM burner to make 100,00 copies will take so much time and destroy several burners compared to contracting a duplicator who has an industrial DVD duplicator that can churn out more than 10,000 copies a day.
