If you are looking for a cheap way to replicated cds then you should consider using a dvd duplication service instead. For more information about the benefits and disadvantages of dvd replication versus dvd duplication please read the section about dvd replication costs before you go any further.

One way of getting cheap dvd replication is to use a company that has shoddy machinery. That will ensure that you get a cheap, but also inferior product. Like most industries, you get what you pay for and dvd replication is no exception.

Prices will also vary from place to place, and always you should shop around. Some places will replicate dvds very cheaply, but the service may not include data integrity or printing, or packaging. Should ask about these things when enquiring about cheap dvd duplication or cheap dvd replication services.

Before deciding on a cheap replication service, there's some questions you should ask:

- What is the data integrity rate?

- How do they test this?

- What's included in the price?

- Printing, packaging?

- How old is the DVD replication machine? (it shouldn't be more then 5 years old)

It's also a good idea to get quotes from a number of places and then tell them that you have a cheaper quote. You can quite often get cheap dvd clones for less if the workload at a particular business is low. Replicating DVD's a lengthy process because a stamp (made from glass) needs to be created for your replications. This is what makes replication more expensive then duplication (which uses existing media).
