 DVD Mastering

Mastering for:

 

 
'Pressed' or 'Replicated' (Longer Runs)

DVD Replication - typically for 500 copies or more. Our preferred master format for Pressed or Replicated DVDs is DLT tape. We do accept DVD-R masters, though some DVD-Rs may be unsuitable for Glass Mastering. DVD-RAM is not acceptable.

Digital Linear Tape (DLT) Specification. The ANSI labelled tape has to hold 3 files in order to make a proper image for LBR mastering:
  • control.dat
  • image.dat / main.dat
  • DDPID (ddp 2.00 protocol)
File Names: DDPID and DDPMS will be combined into one file named DDPID. Lead-in control data file is set in DDPMS map packet 1. DVD image file name is set in DDPMS map packet 2. File contents: Lead-in control data will contain one 32k block of the DVD lead-in control data. DVD image file will contain unscrambled 2048 bytes per sector and is program data only. DVD image file must contain a multiple of 32,768 bytes. Lead-in, middle area and lead-out are not allowed in the DVD image file.

 
Duplicated DVDs - Short Run 'DVD-R'

We can accept DVD-R masters in most formats for our Short Run / Fast Turnaround Service. For peace of mind we are happy to supply a 'pre production' sample for you to test prior to duplication. DVD-RAM masters are not acceptable.

For our short run service using Recordable DVDs we duplicate using Pioneer A03 writers.
