CD Replication: Helps in Generating Multiple Copies of a Compact Disc at Cost Effective Prices

There are times in the life, when people need to look out for a way that help them in producing end number of copies of a compact disc without any obligation. In a solution to this problem of many, CD Replication service proves to the most efficient form of process that helps in producing more than 1000 copies of a compact disc at mush faster pace.

Replication of a compact disc is basically a process of producing multiple copies of a CD using the original master copy or directly from an attached computer hard drive. However, one needs to be careful about the high quality of the original CD as during the replication process some quality is lost, so in order to attain the same results as the master pieces, the original CD should excellent in quality.

Replication process of a CD generally involves number of stages. Firstly, the pre-mastering stage where the actual data meant to be transferred into the new CD is prepared. If the information is stored in the master CD, then it has to go through reading and imaging. Replication done through hard drive, needs the data meant to be transferred should be arranged and structured accordingly, so that it is easily read and understood by the CD reader. Secondly, the glass mastering stage where the information is transferred onto the glass to create a ‘master disc’. This process also helps in protecting the original masterpiece from getting damaged. Once the disc is prepared, the date is then transferred onto the glass master using either photoresist or dye-polymer mastering using a laser technique. During photoresist process, blue/ultraviolet light is utilized to expose light sensitive materials on the disc. While dye-polymer process does not use photosensitive materials and the pits are created directly onto the glass master by focusing a red laser on the particular area of the disc.

Thereafter, in the final stage, the glass master goes through post mastering procedure to ensure the protection of the stored data in it. Here, the disc is baked further making the surface harder, thereafter, the disc is electroplated and electroformed to further toughen it.  With the end of this procedure, new CDs could be replicated. 

On the other hand, DVD Authoring is the process of collecting various content assets such as video, audio, photographs, subtitles and menus and then connecting them together followed by burning them to a master DVD disc.

Thereafter, they are compiled in a variety of applications such as Ulead Movie Factory on the PC or DVD studio Pro on the Mac.
