It is a format that is slowly, but surely, coming to its demise. The replacement? DVDs, of course. By basic definition, DVD is an acronym for digital versatile disc, and by rapidly growing in popularity, this optical disc is making DVD duplication a growing market as well. Thanks to smaller, more powerful and more affordable chips, technology of every variety that once was available to only largest corporations is now within reach of nearly any size business, and many consumers for home usage. First it was computers and digital printers--now DVD duplication systems have become an affordable commodity. DVD duplication is a awesome technology. If you want an extra copy of a movie you bought, or want to produce backup copies of your games, DVD's or VHS tapes, this is your solution. DVD duplication is similar to process used to print information on a CD. It's a burn-and-print technology that involves very little set-up and is quite simple using some of new software that is currently available. The technology to reproduce DVDs, once available to productions studios and giant corporations, is now available at affordable prices for businesses and organizations both large and small. Churches, in particular, are using this new media technology. "In past, churches recorded sermons and music on cassette," recalls Tony van Veen, Disc Makers' Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "These tapes often lacked quality and took hours, even days, to reproduce. Today, with consumer demand for quality, and popularity of DVDs, churches must embrace this new technology or risk falling behind."

Maybe you would like to create a training product demonstration, a Power Point presentation for work, or make a how-to-video to help employees understand new software. Perhaps you want to video annual company softball game/picnic and give copies to everyone. Or you would like to provide a DVD of your wedding ceremony to each of your guests.
