The Major Differences between DVD Replication and Duplication
by Amelie Viz Replication and Duplication ProcessCD/DVDs are used by people for many purposes these days and most commonly as an easy storage for music, movies, software, data, documents, pictures and several other things. Because they can save so much of data within themselves, often people look to have their backup so that in case any disaster strikes, they have the data intact with them. This backup is done by making multiple copies and for this; the two best steps are duplication and replication. With them, people can make multiple copies and use them for several reasons.
These processes, despite generating similar looking results, vary a lot. Duplication can be understood as the giant version of disc burning that can be performed at our homes too. On the contrary, replication is completely opposite and quite complicated too.
The main difference lies in the discs used in both these processes, as in the former one, you can use the discs sold at local computer shops. But in the process of CD/DVD replication, the DVD manufacture firms have no option than to start right from the scratch.
Another difference is that instead of copying the data, replicating involves engraving the data into the disc.
Benefits
As compared to duplicating, another process has a number of benefits to offer. For example –
- Because the data on the disc is physically embedded instead of copying, the quality is far better.
- Moreover, it is often seen with the duplicated version that there are problems during running or even while burning. This basically depends upon the age of the hardware used for duplication by the DVD manufacture firm.
- Because the replication process involves more of technology, it is often said that the reliability factor is prevailing more as compared to those that have been duplicated.
- The age of the discs passed through these processes is also something very important to take note of. The reason is that those undergoing replication have the capability to keep data intact for a longer period as compared to those passing through the process of duplication.
- Similarly, the care that both these versions of discs required is almost the same and this is why people often opt for CD/DVD replication process because of better functionality reasons.
- This process is considered ideal for those requiring bulk copies of their data. The process of duplication can considered as ideal when bulk copies are required urgently and quality is not an issue.
- However, this does not mean that duplication is less expensive. If we compare the cost of both these processes, the cost of CD/DVD replication would emerge as less in terms of bulk requirement.
- The overall look and appearance of those getting replicated is much better than those prepared through duplication. The reason is that the duplicated ones are generic and with no looks, they look boring and dull. On the other hand, the DVD manufacture firms use silkscreen or offset printing on the labels to be pasted on the replicated pieces.
