CD & DVD Duplication Explained

By: Duplication Guy

When producing CD or DVD media, the choice of duplicating or replicating them is often confused. Duplication and replication are totally different processes and should be used accordingly for the type of target market your producing the discs for.

Duplication uses a completely different method from replication for producing the final disc. It uses premade blank discs to burn your data using a CD or DVD burner. Many people have a CD or DVD burner on their PC and use it for making copies of data files, movies, etc..

Duplicating a disc uses a burner capable drive and alters the surface of the blank disc by bouncing a laser off the dye in the disc. As the disc spins, the laser writes outward and the spin or burn rate is determined by the burn rate of the drive doing the writing.

Today's DVD burners can write to both CD and DVD media. The media itself is branded with terms like CD-R, DVD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RW as well as others. The one consistent identifier among all the various brands is the R or the W. If the disc is labeled with just the R, it means the disc can be recorded to once and only once. Once recorded, that disc will play on most drives. If the disc is labeled with the W, which shows that the disc can be written to numerous times and even over written and used like afloppy disc. The disadvantage to this type of disc is most often than not, it will only play in the drive that originally wrote to it.
