DVDs producer price

[valterroque]

Hi
Does anybody know how (+-) costs a DVD for the factory?

[BJ_M]

the cost of the disk ? or the disk plus packaging and shipping? or the cost of the production ?

also depends on how many are produced and the complexity for the project ...

production costs can be quite high in fact - depending on how the transfer was done ..

The cost of the disk out of the plant. No transportation.
For example Ritek. How much does one DVD cost for them?
Of course i am not expecting accurate prices.
But if you have an idea of prices with pack&shiping somewhere
and the cost of production shared with us.

well yes - i know but some figures are rather a trade secret ...
riteks are a burned type dvd - not a pressed dvd....
