Duplication and distribution rollout

Duplication is the final stage before you can distribute your video.

How you decide the delivery mix for your video will depend where it’s going.

DVD is now the most widely available medium.

Points to remember:

• DVD offers the best quality
• CD-ROM can be the most interactive
• CD-ROM and DVD are lighter and cheaper to post
• Webstream or web download means instant delivery anywhere anytime in the world to broadband or isdn users, at low cost, but at a lower quality.
• All media can be labelled, overprinted and packaged to make a good impression on the user. With colour inkjet printing, even small runs can look smart.
• The more you order, the cheaper the unit cost. Order 100 rather than 5 batches of 20. 
• For DVD or CD, runs of 500 or more will see the price dropping dramatically as the duplication process is different.
• Consider seeing a sample before running off a large amount of duplicates. It may add time and cost, but ensures no last minute disasters. 
• Translating your video into a Foreign Language will add relatively little cost wise, but will dramatically increase it’s impact overseas.
