DVD Replication provides a long-term solution to store higher volumes of data than a CD. DVD Replication is the industry standard procedure for manufacturing DVDs. DVD Duplication uses enhanced DVD-R media and 'burns' the data to a heat-sensitive surface, whereas DVD Replication actually "presses" the audio onto an aluminum and plastic disc, creating physical pits in the surface. This is then covered in a clear plastic layer, to stop the pits collecting dirt and dust. The disc life of a replicated copy is much longer and sturdier than a duplicated disc's.

There are two main DVD options: DVD-5 and DVD-9.

DVD-5(single layer disc) can store 4.7GB of data (up to 2 hours of video) DVD-9(dual layer disc) stores 8.54GB of data (about 4 hours of video footage)

The process is ideal for orders of 1000 units or more. The reason for this is that while the setup cost of producing a glass master and formatting the machines for your job is high, the cost of producing each unit is very low. When you are producing 1000 DVDs or more, replication is a cheaper alternative.
