DVD Mastering

The quality of your DVD video creation is based on the quality of the DVD mastering services provided. DVD mastering, often referred to as glass mastering, is the process of converting the source material into a DVD stamper for replication. Source data is imputed to a laser beam recorder (LBR) that records information onto the surface of a glass master. The glass masters are then used to make stamper molds for DVD injection-molding lines.

Input Media by DVD type:

DVD-5
DLT (digital linear tape), DVD-R, unencrypted replicated DVD-5
