Independent filmmakers often dream of showcasing their work at film festivals or distributing their projects to eager audiences. Once your film is complete, how do you turn a master DVD into stacks of professionally packaged DVDs ready for retail? Follow these four steps for excellent DVD replication results.
1. Prepare Your DVD Master
Ensure your replication company can read your master by creating a DVD-R master or using a DLT (Digital Linear Tape). While DLT was once the standard, advances in DVD-R technology now make it sufficient for most projects. Always provide a backup master in case of damage during transit.
2. Design Your Artwork
Create eye-catching artwork for the DVD face, case exterior, and any inserts such as postcards or booklets. Most replication companies offer downloadable templates to help with your layout. If you plan to sell your DVD through retailers, consider obtaining a UPC barcode, as many stores require it.
3. Choose a DVD Replication Partner
There are many DVD replication companies, but not all offer the same quality. Search for a partner with competitive pricing and a simple process. Be aware of potential hidden fees like overages, setup fees, or additional costs for specific printing options. Doing your homework will ensure your DVDs look great and that you're not caught off guard by unexpected expenses.
4. Approve Check Discs and Artwork Proofs
Once you choose a replication company, submit your masters, artwork, and payment. Most companies require payment upfront. Expect to receive digital proofs of your artwork within days. If you request a hard proof, you’ll get a printed sample to verify before mass production. Additionally, you can request check discs to confirm the project has successfully processed from the master to the glass master.
Upon approval, your DVDs should be ready for delivery within a couple of weeks. Soon, you’ll hear the arrival of packages filled with your professionally replicated DVDs, ready to share with the world!
By following these steps, you can achieve professional DVD replication and bring your creative project to life.
