Re: DVD Sales

In my opinion, the answer to your question is entirely dependent on volume of DVDs you'll be making/selling. If its less than 1000, you're "duplicatiing" -- or over a thousand, "replicating." Duplicating means burning, no copy protection, and packaging by hand; replicating means professionally stamped from a glass master and usually including machine printing and packaging.

Depending on how many you're making, DVDs can either be a good source of income or just a royal pain in butt, with lots of work involved and very little revenue. Tell me how many you're projecting for the first run and I'll be better able to help you determine how much of the job to keep vs. how much to give away.
