DVD Manufacturing could refer to either duplication or replication however there are major differences. A genuine retail DVD is replicated rather than duplicated but unfortunately not all DVD manufacturing companies will make you aware of this. Most of the time, such companies can only provide duplication and would therefore not advise of the alternative.

DVD manufacturing companies that can only duplicate are simply burning blank media. OK so they can print on the disc and even print the packaging so it looks the same as any DVD however you would not be able to stock this in high street shops or internet outlets.

Replication provided by DVD manufacturing companies is providing genuine retail quality product. It is true that quality can vary from one company to another so cheapest is not always the wisest choice. At the end of the day, you want to sell your DVD and the first impression is the quality of its looks.

Some companies offering DVD manufacturing will also offer the complete service including authoring and graphic design for your final packaging. This can often save on costs rather than contracting ...
... three different companies to complete the project and also it is usually quicker. The actual DVD manufacturing is the simplest part of the project whereas the authoring can make a huge difference to the professionalism of the product and of course the graphic design for the packaging can make it stand out. DVD manufacturing is in itself basically the mass production of a single master.

Should any DVD manufacturing facility only be able to offer the duplication of a DVD-R supplied along with the printing of a j-peg for example, while they are likely to be providing cheap prices it is also likely you will end up with cheap result and possible playback problems. The authoring can be complex subject to your needs and just because what you create plays fine on your system, doesn't always mean it is OK for any system. Before going for DVD manufacturing, the more tests that can be carried out and the better checks by your chosen DVD manufacturing company the better to be sure of avoiding problems.
