Difference of Duplication & Replication

Difference of Duplication & Replication

by Duplication Guy

Replication and Duplication are two separate processes. Many times, people confuse the two with each other. Duplication is a cost effective method for producing smaller quantities of discs as opposed to producing a large quantity to be sold in retail stores across many different states or even countries.

Replication differs from duplication in that the process for replication uses a glass master to produce duplicates out of molded plastic resin discs and duplication uses premade blank discs and burns the data into a dye in the disc with a laser. You can not replicate a disc from your PC but you can duplicate a disc if it's equipped with a drive that burns discs.

Duplicating a disc uses a burner capable drive and alters the surface of the blank disc by bouncing a laser off the dye in the disc. As the disc spins, the laser writes outward and the spin or burn rate is determined by the burn rate of the drive doing the writing.

DVD burners are dual purpose and can burn both CD and DVD media. You will see the term CD-R, DVD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RW and various others. The R in the terms stands for recordable and if there is no W present, then that means the discs can only be burned once. If there is a W present, it stands for Writable and can actually be burned to numerous times even overwriting what is present on the disc if needed. The draw back to re-writable discs is that many times if won't play on any other player other than the one that created it where as a one time recordable disc will usually play on any player.
