ACUTRACK | CD Duplication DVD Copying CD Replication DVD and CD Packaging

Before sending in your master, test it thoroughly to make sure that it performs exactly the way you want it to. Your finished discs will be an identical copy of your master. You must keep a safety copy of the supplied master.

DVD Masters
DVD+R or DVD-R are acceptable for replication of DVD-5 and DVD-10 discs, and can be produced on either an authoring or general drive. For DVD-9, you must supply two DLT masters (one for Layer 0 and other for layer 1) or DDPs on DVD-Rs. DVD+R DL can also be used for DVD-9s DLTs and DDPs on disc are also acceptable for DVD-5 and DVD-10. Any project requiring CSS or Macrovision copy protection must be authored as such and must be submitted on DLT or DDP on disc. All DLT masters must include DDP files.

Always use high-quality recordable (DVD-R or DVD+R) non-rewritable discs for your DVD masters. DVD-ReWritable (DVD-RW) discs should not be used for making DVD masters. Not all DVD readers can read DVD-RW discs. This can lead to problems during replication.

Data CD-ROM masters
Do not use packet writing to produce a CD-ROM master for manufacturing. With packet writing, data can be written to a CD incrementally, instead of all at once. Because data is written to it a few files at a time, a packet-written CD will have multiple tracks and discontinuities in the data which do not belong in a disc image suitable for manufacturing.

Always use high-quality recordable (CD-R) non-rewritable discs for your CD-ROM masters. CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs should not be used for making CD-ROM masters. Not all CD-ROM readers can read CD-RW discs. This can lead to problems during disc replication.

Audio CD Masters
You must provide us Audio CD with audio track. Any other format supplied will incur a conversion work and fee. It's important that your master sounds exactly the way you want it to sound, with all of the songs in the correct order and the right amount of spacing between songs. Let us know if you need help with equalization or level adjustments.
