Re: Replication Delivery Requirements

Haha. I know it's coming. I don't know why these discussions get out of hand. I have a proven track record of Authoring, premastering and replicating (yes I actually started out as a cd/DVD molder and printer) Like I said If we EVER had a problem because of a way a master was submitted (not including a client playing floor hockey with the master) we simply just wouldn't accept it anymore. The fact is that if you want to talk about professional, call 1K Studio, Deluxe, or Cinram and see how they submit their masters. You will be surprised! And these guys are as professional as you will get. They do 90% of the Hollywood titles. Deluxe Authors and Replicates in the same building. If you think they are going to wait 4 hours to write 2 DTL's and then 4 hours to premaster the DLT's before pressing then you are greatly mistaken. They write DDP to HD and the premaster. BTW Deluxe in Burbank is a really cool studio used to be a Hard Rock.

As a matter of fact give me 5 good reasons why DTL is the best way to submit a master and I will give you 5 reasons why it doesn't matter.

Happy hour is starting so I'm going drinking.
