Re: What files make up a master DVD to send for replication?

Dave,

If...

• You're sure that the authoring hasn't changed since you burned a proof disc and,
• That your DDP image is the same as that proof and,
• You use good media and,
• Burn the disc at no more then 4x and,
• Use the verify feature of your burning software

Then your as diligent as can be.

There is one thing to bear in mind about asking for the short replication run proof. Each time the stamper gets handled it runs the risk of being damaged. Also, there is quite a bit of fine tuning that happens to get the press "up to speed" and the setup on the actual run may not be identical to the "test" run.

Personally I think it better to take the actual run as proof.
