Anyone who has burned a lot of CD/DVDs has undoubtedly encountered this problem. Your CD/DVD will not play in certain CD/DVD players. You’ve tried different brands of CD/DVDs. You’ve even tried switching the write speed of your CD/DVD burning software. Yet, nothing seems to work.
However, any “professional” CD/DVD purchased from a retail outlet such as Best Buy or Sam Goodies works in any type of CD/DVD player. What are they doing that we aren’t? Why won’t certain CD/DVD Roms duplicated at home play in all CD/DVD players?
Believe it or not, it’s because the music industry burns their CD/DVD Roms differently. Instead of duplicating CD/DVDs, the music industry replicates CD/DVDs. Though the terminology seems synonymous, the process is completely different.
CD/DVD replication is used for mass production of CD/DVDs ( 500). Instead of writing data to a CD/DVD using a laser as with CD/DVD Rom duplication, CD/DVD replication uses a glass master to stamp (press) data onto the disc. This eliminates practically all of the issues with playability that are encountered when burning CD/DVDs at home. CD/DVD replication is a far superior process of burning CD/DVDs.
It is important to note that the superior quality of CD/DVD Roms pressed using CD/DVD replication doesn’t come cheap. Even when using independent CD/DVD Rom duplication companies such as Absolute Disc or Oasis, there is still going to be a higher cost associated with replicated discs.
For your next project, have your CD/DVD Roms replicated rather than duplicated. This will ensure that your product has the highest quality standard. Remember, that due to cost, you will have to order at least 500 CD/DVDs in order to receive this process. However, you can rest assured knowing that the quality of your disc is on the same level as the professionals.
