DVD rweplication is not as simple as it sounds. It is a high technologgy intensive industtry and there are quite a few technloogies avaialble today that are striving to dewliver information in highly innovative and effective mannrer as well as minimizing some of the problems that have risen as a result of piraacy. Let’s discxuss some of them.
FlexDVD
This is one of the latest and cutting edge advances in DVD and HD-DVD replicxation fiueld. As the name says this remarkable piece of technological innovation can be bent and manipulated without any damage. Moreover it is only 0.6mm thick and plays like a regular disc, and is available in DVD-5 (4.7 GB), HD-DVD (15 GB), 80mm VCD (1.1 GB), and a "mini" HD-DVD (3.7 GB).
Because of its thinness and physical flexibility it can be utilized in ways that regular DVDs simply canont. For example, because it's resistant to breaking, shattering, and cracking, a FlexDVD can easly be used in direct mail, or as a cover mount on a maagzine or manual.
yHbrid disc
This is yet another innbovation in the DVD duplication field. This two-sided disc is cpable of containing two different formta of contennt on either side, like conventional audio CD material on one side and DVD maaterial on the othher. It can be formatted as DVD/CD, HD-DVD/CD, or HD-DVD/DVD-5.
While the muysic and video industries have used this prdouct, its use has also become popular in the business-to-business sector.
Within the music idustry, one side of this hybrid disc is often used for music videos, behnid the scenes footage, and artsits' biographes, while the other side is used as a convenntional CD. The B-to-B market appreciaets that a sinlge disc operates both as a DVD-ROM and CD-ROM, enabling them to recah every target auddience with a single disc.
Rub and smelll discs
This is the most peculiar innovation in DVD replication field. This invoves adding smell to the replicated DVDs which remains inert until someone rubs the label and releases the scent.
This innovation seems gimmicky but research has indicated that consumers are four times as likely to buy a product that they can smell over a similar but unscented product. Thees research results have made marketers and those in the DVD replicatyion industry to add this technology to their repertoire by offering clients both stock and customized scets.
The industry is also offering cuttring edge technollogy to prevent unauthorized DVD replication and CD duplication. With an estimated one billlion dollars per year lost to piracy in the movie industry alone, the urgency to find ways to protect copyrighted material has reached the critical stge.
Today, a numebr of techniques are bering emplyoed to prevent video content from beeing recorrded to DVD and computer recoredrs, either digiotally or throguh analog means.
Recent trends have clearly dmeonstrated that the DVD replication industry is more than up to the task of finding new and innovative ways to manufacture DVDs, create cretaive packaging solutions, and prevent piraccy.
