Disc Duplication vs Replication - What's the Difference
Article by CDDVD Now! http://www.cddvdnow.com
CD and DVD Replication (also known as Optical DIsc Manufacturing) is a process of manufacturing your discs.
Disc Duplication is copying data onto recordable media, either CD-R or DVD-R.
Replication is a process of creating a glass master and a stamper and injection molding your discs. The data is pressed into the polycarbonate material, then a layer of foil is applied, a protective layer and then the discs are printed using either a silkscreen or offset printing method.
Duplication uses discs that have a layer of optical dye and the data is burned into the dye using a laser. This is where the expression, "to burn a disc" comes from.
Duplicating CDs and DVDs is a relatively quick and inexpensive process making it the choice for short-run needs. The discs are burned and then the artwork is printed directly on the face of the disc.
There are however instances where CD replication is a better choice.
If you want to make 1000 discs or more, CD or DVD replication will be the least expensive way to go. There are virtually no compatibility issues with CD-R but, in the case of DVD-R duplication, there are still some compatibility issues between some set-top players and DVD-R.
Replicating your DVD (stamping) virtually eliminates all compatibility issues. With stamped discs, you have a much more professional look, too. There are many benefits to replication including 100% accuracy and tremendous price breaks in larger quantities. Many times it comes down to a couple of issues, how many you need and how fast you need them.

Confessions of a No-Frills Indie Songwriter
I'm really a fan as much as a songwriter, but a lot of songwriters say that. Elvis Costello, Elton John. They were fans first. But I was a serious fan, probably like most people who listen to "dark" music. Great songs got me through my
adolescence. They got me through breakups. They kept me company.
