New year CD releases….

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Many I am sure will be glad to see the back of 2008 and those of us in the DVD and CD manufacturing industry are no different! With the fight against piracy continuing and the poor economy resulting in many CD replication companies failing a fresh new year we can hope will bring a change [...]

CD Replication - quality or cheap?

Monday, December 15th, 2008

Let’s face it. The words “quality” and “cheap” rarely go together and the same is for CD replication. There are many companies in the UK that source the manufacturing services they offer from overseas facilities without ever viewing the manufacturing plant or vetting the equipment or personnel. They are simply looking for the cheapest provider [...]

Clean up piracy deadline set…

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

So the target has been set to rid London of bootleg DVDs, CDs and any other media format by the time the Olympics arrive in 2012. Pirated material in the UK alone costs the CD and DVD replication industry millions each year so to see such determination from authorities is a welcome signal.
Penalties for illegally [...]

CD & DVD Replication for Christmas…

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Time is running out for CD or DVD replication completions this side of Christmas so if you have not yet booked your project then contact Digital Disc Duplication now to avoid disappointment! The same applies for early New Year release plans - the sooner these can be scheduled will make sure they are amongst the [...]

Another Pirate raid….

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

With news of yet another bust on a pirate DVD operation, this time in the West Midlands, it is heartening for the DVD replication industry that it seems the fight against piracy in the UK is hotter than ever before. There seem to be more frequent raids with results preventing thousands lost in revenue for [...]

Retailers offer more savings….

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Digital Disc Duplication UK last week announced the added savings offered for CD and DVD replication following the VAT reduction starting December 1st! Not that we are claiming to have started this great idea but it seems now that retailers are offering similar deals for consumer products, mostly for consumer electronics! Curries, Tesco, Sainsburys and even [...]

Blu-Ray Player Shortage…

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

It seems every year this happens. A new platform is launched and the maufacturers cannot supply enough to meet the demand of the pre Christmas market. This year is no exception (although it is not about a new games console).
Blu-Ray players have dramatically lowered in price and as predicted, the demand for this format has [...]

VAT lowers CD Replication Costs!

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

As of Monday, the cost of CD replication will be lower by 2.5% due to the government lowering VAT for the time being! It may not sound a huge amount but it all adds up and if you are independantly releasing your CD and therefore unlikey to be VAT registered, it is probably a saving [...]

Equal penalties for Copyright theft…

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

So you are at home and about to download the latest Album from ColdPlay but you are not downloading from iTunes or even ordering (and paying for) an actual copy of the CD. You think it is OK to get the tracks for free via p2p sites! Well consider this - it is effectively the [...]

An advanced Audio CD?

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Sony seem to be revelling in their success of Blu-Ray over HD-DVD and have now claimed to have produced another Audio CD format that produces high quality reproduction on standard CD players. If, as all claims seem to be, Audio CD replication requirements are diminishing, why invest the time and resource in developing this revised [...]
