Hi.

Is this OK:

I burn a Verbatim X2 as a master DVD.
Then I put this onto a harddisk and duplicate onto 4 DVDs a go onto Maxell printable.

Is this OK?

(We do all our copies in house as for each programme we only need about 200 copies)

Thanks, D

You don't need to make any "master DVD". Just compile a DVD image (ISO) file, and use that as a source. It's much more reliable than burning a DVD and then reading it again.

Also, Verbatim discs weren't very good, in my experience. Maybe they have improved, but I would skip that step completely - just compile to an image file and then use that as a source.

Hi and super thanks.

I will try this ISO thing but...

I use a duplication rack, you know, one with a hard disk and 4 DVD slots.
How do I actually put the authored programme out of DVDWS2 into the hard disk on the duplicator?

Do I make a ISO file onto a DVD and then copy this onto the duplicator's hard disk?

Once again, thanks. You are saving me a lot of time and a lot of headaches.

What kind of interface does your duplicator use? Most duplicating systems are actually a computer with multiple DVD recorders, and the duplication software (ex., PrimoDVD, etc.) gives you the option to load an image file from the local hard disk or from the network.

If your duplicator is just a basic "stand-alone" system, with no way to connect it to other systems, then you'll always need to use a DVD as a source. But in that case I personally would use a Maxell or a Pioneer disc, not a Verbatim.

Stand alone it is.
And so Maxell will be the dick as you suggest.
I have found a place here in Italy that (well, according to their website) have these printable disks at an acceptable price.

I suppose I should also use Maxell for my copies, right?
Thanks,
D

Yes, unless you are making a disc for a player that you know works better with another brand, Maxell are usually the most compatible.
