I have
footage on both region one and region two DVD's. Does
this matter?
No, not at all. We can edit and duplicate from both PAL
(Phase Alternating Line) and NTSC
(National Television System Committee) DVDs.
Can you produce DVD duplicates that are compatible
to play in other countries?
Yes.
In the
UK DVDs are burnt using PAL. Although many other
countries use PAL if you want your DVD's to be
compatible in the USA and some other countries you will
need to let us know so that we can burn them in NTSC.
How is a CD
Business Card different from a regular CD?
Multi-shaped CDs work exactly the same as the regular
CDs. They can carry all data formats that regular
CD/CD-R carries. The only difference is that storage
size is smaller. In this case 46.8Mb (enough for a CV,
uncompressed voice demo, photo and compressed showreel).
Are
CD business cards playable in any machine?
The CDs will
work in just about any standard PC, MAC or laptop CD/DVD
drive. In a standard drive the disc fits into an inner
circular tray as the CD business cards themselves have a
raised circular section on their underside which fits
neatly into this depression. In a laptop drive with a
prominent spindle that you push the discs directly onto,
these discs work in exactly the same way as standard
CDs. The orientation of the discs does not matter. They
sit with the label facing upwards, just as with standard
12cm circular CDs. However these discs are not suitable
for use in slot-loading CD drives, although these are
fairly uncommon and will not normally be a problem.
What DVDs
do you use?
We always use Grade A DVD-R discs for DVD production.
What does
DVD-R mean?
DVD-R discs are recordable DVD media that can be written
to only once. The discs can be written in standard DVD
writer drives. The DVD-R format was developed by Pioneer
in 1997 and is the most commonly used type of writable
DVD (other types include DVD+R and the re-writable DVD-RW/DVD+RW).
Is a duplicated CD or DVD lower
quality?
No.
If we are copying a CD or DVD for you, we will make an
exact digital copy. There will be no reduction in
quality, unlike copying analogue video, e.g. VHS tapes.
A digital copy replicates the data exactly; copying the
digital information, thus making a perfect replica of
the source disc.
How long do
duplicates take?
Our duplication service is very efficient - we normally
get your order out within 48 hours. If however you need
a priority same-day service let us know and we will do
all we can to help.
Do you
recycle DVDs and CDs?
Yes. Any discs that are wasted during production are
sent off to our friends at Polymer Recycling be turned
into other beautiful things. They use patented
technology that allows 100% of the disc to be recycled
without the use of chemicals. They have prevented well
over 100m discs from ending up on land-fill. They have
also been approved by FACT (Federation Against Copyright
and Theft) to have attained the required security
standards. Since their inception they have demonstrated
an exemplary track record in security.
How
much is postage for disc media?
All our orders are sent Royal Mail First Class

been made with the client. The charges for
postage and packaging are as follows: up to 10
discs £2, 10+ discs £3, 25+ discs £4.50, 50+
