The Concept Of DVD Duplication
With new technology allowing for many new innovations, DVD
duplication is becoming very popular. Before considering DVD
duplication, it's important to gain an understanding of what is
permitted and what is not. Films that have copyright protection
may not be duplicated in any way. Doing so could result in
serious penalties, so just don't do it. However, DVD duplication
can be wonderful if you want to transfer photos onto a disk or
if you have family movies that you wish to transfer from old VHS
tapes or from one DVD to another.
Before you begin, try and determine what you want to get out of
your DVD. Do you plan to erase the contents of the disc and
record over it someday or do you plan to leave the contents on
the disc permanently? If you ever plan to erase or record over
the contents of a DVD, then you will need to purchase a DVD-RW.
This abbreviation stands for DVD rewritable disc and means that
it can be recorded and erased just the same as a VHS video. If
you do not intend to erase the contents of a DVD, then a DVD+R
will work fine. These are more affordable than the DVD-RW discs,
but it's important to keep in mind that a DVD+R can never be
recorded over again. Once the contents are recorded, they are
there to stay. The same is true with a music CD. If you want to
have the flexibility of recording and re-recording audio music,
you will need to purchase a CD-RW disc. If you do not plan to
record over the contents at any point in the future, a CD+R disc
will be the more affordable option for your project.
DVD duplication is a wonderful way to preserve memories and even
share copies of those memories with family. Have you recorded
your child's first steps of his/her first birthday? If so,
consider putting them on to a DVD and mailing them to other
members of the family who live out of state and aren't there to
witness the everyday occurrences. It will give them a feeling of
being close and they will love to see such a touching video. In
order to create a successful DVD duplication, you will need a
DVD recording unit. Up until several years ago, these products
were nonexistent, but now they are everywhere. You can find them
in the electronics section of your local retail store or online
at virtually any electronic or retail website.
DVD duplication is a wonderful way to preserve your old memories
while making new ones at the same time. Just as Beta left us
years ago, VHS systems are soon to follow. With the new creation
of DVD and DVD duplication devices, it's never to soon to
convert those precious home video memories onto DVD format.
Years from now, if all of your home movies are on VHS, what
happens when the VHS player develops operational problems? There
may not be another system to purchase, but you can take great
comfort in knowing that there will be DVD players.
