Short Run DVD Duplication	Can't Post

Can anyone recommend a site (based on past experience) for short run DVD duplication - including disc and sleeve printing and packaging. For a recital I have coming up in June I need to finalize pricing for the DVDs, and I'm trying to get a handle on per-Disc costs for probably 80 discs (about 40 from one night's performance and another 40 from the second night).

I've found a few (discmakers, acutrack) but was wondering if anyone had any luck with any other companies.

Thanks!

Here's one in my home town... Professional Duplications.

I haven't used them so I have no idea of costs.

I used Mixonic. I had 300 DVD's duplicated, as well as DVD inserts. They're the site Discmakers uses for their short run disc dups.

Hey Justin. I know a great local guy who I get duplication done with every year. If you can wait until I get back from the Philippines on Friday, I can get you his contact info.

Yeah, that would be great. The best pricing I found was mixonic so far. I'll need about (25) 2-disc sets of each of two nights performances made. (The studio said in they've never sold more than 50 copies total.)

I'm actually surprised no one on the boards here with a fancy DVD Duplication machine is looking for easy money!

OK, I'll bite! I can do duplication with Taiyo Yuden Watershield Glossy DVD-R with inkjet printing, packaging, etc.

Question - how long is the video? Curious why two DVDs. From many of the posts I see on VU, a lot of folks are paranoid of going over 60-90 minutes which should not be an issue as most of my wedding and event DVDs are always around 2 hours and I've never had a client complaint. I've gone as long as 2:15:00 or so on recitals.

Just PM me for details

Thanks
