| Replication or Duplication? |
| Replicated discs are often referred to as pressed discs and are created by physically pressing data into the surface of the disc. Duplicated discs encode data onto the disc by burning microscopic holes into the dye layer of a recordable DVD. Replicated discs are the standard for major commercial releases. |
| Replication is most cost effective on orders of over 300 discs, and offers more packaging options. Duplication is most cost effective on orders of fewer than 300 discs and can be significantly faster than replication on shorter runs. |
