DVD Duplicator

[soimcrazy]

I was looking around on EBAY and saw DVD/CD duplicators. Looks like a small computer tower with a CD drive for your master CD/DVD and another drive for your blank CD/DVD. Some are 1to1 and there are others that are 1to8, 1to9.
They claim you just put in your master and your blank and it makes a copy.
Priced from $400-$1200.
Anyone ever use one of these?

Never used one of these, but as far as I know, they are just DVD recorders. You can only copy an authored DVD(Or DVD image file), the same thing you do when you burn a DVD on your computer. They just allow you to make more copies at the same time. They do not copy a commercial DVD.

WOW !!!

no one here has used one of these?

I don't think many have. I contacted several companies that sell these, none could give me a reference to someone that has bought one in my state.

I'd like to find a report on them in a magazine or online...electronics magazine/consumer reports.


Let me know if you find anything....I'm looking now !!

I have an 1 to 7 CD/DVD Duplicator. I had it for about 7 months. They are great for mass recording. But it's for DVD-r to DVD-r recording. I do my master DVD-r on my PC and then do the rest in the duplicator. It's great to have because it frees up my PC for me to do other things.

They do come in handy.

slice...what do you use your duplicator for...movies, music?

can you ONLY record DVD-R ?

[slicebogey]

I can do DVD+/-RWs and CD-RWs. I do everything on it. Whatever I'm making a backup of and depending on how many I need. I also do custom video and music editing for people. Their special moments captured on VHS,,,I transfer them to DVD-R/s. Then I go to the local graduations with my CANON GL2 Digital Camcorder and transfer that to DVD-R/s and take orders. I even personalize the DVD-R/s to get maximum price. So with the DVD Duplicators...you're only limited by your imagination.

Hope this helps.

Where did you buy your duplicator from? brand?
