Manufactured DVDs are durable, reliable and have an immaculate appearance. Silk-screen or offset-print with up to 6 colors give the perfect finish to a professional product.
DVD-5 holds a data-layer with a storage-capacity of 4,7 GB. It is the smallest one within th DVD-family. With two superimposed layers the DVD-9 provides a capacity of 8,5 GB, and DVD-10 up to 9,4 GB. A third layer is glued upside down onto the dual layers. Similarly DVD-10 has two sides like a vinyl-record and only the inner-ring is available for printing .

DVD means, „Digital Versatile Disc“. Its format capabilities are even more extensive than the CD’s. Additionally it provides a better data-performance and a higher storage capacity.

Specifications

A DVD-R as pre-master is the best choice if you need to produce DVD-5’s. Alternatively, an uncompressed DLT (digital linear tape) in 10 GB format. Tape Layout DDP 2.0 (disc description protocol). DDP 2.0 consists of DDP Files plus a Disc Image File. 1 DLT Tape would be required for each information layer (DVD-page or layer).

 

DVD 9 – further specifications

For the production of a DVD9, 2 DLT Tapes in DDP 2.0 protocol are required. The tapes should be prepared in such a way that they represent a single unit and should be labelled accordingly. For the mastering process, the tapes should be labelled as Layer 0 / Layer 1 and it should also be clear whether the data layout for the 2nd layer is in Parallel (PTP) or Opposite (OTP) trackpath mode.
