Steps for DVD duplication Toronto

1) Creating a Master DVD – A master disc refers to the disc by which all duplicates will be made. If the master disc has errors, then the duplicated discs will have the same errors. So, your objective in creating your own master is to create a disc that is error free.
We recommend using proper equipment and best media to record your disc. Make sure to ‘Finalize’ or close the disc after recording it. Also verify your new master disc copy to be sure it’s ready for duplication.
To make a DVD that will play in a DVD player you’ll need to get your movie file encoded to the DVD video format. We recommend you use a professional video production company to produce the master DVD for you.
