    Does anyone have any recommendations for a stand alone DVD duplication system. I have been looking into the Rimage products, but I could use some practical input.

  2. I have a small one at a time duplicator from Aleratec, it burns fast and solid copies, but is only good for small run jobs. If you are looking for a duplicator for larger outputs you could check into aleratec's larger models www.aleratec.com I have also used a Primera bravo II automated duplicator that uses a robotic arm to move discs, and has two burners. From what I have seen it has a lot of issues and isn't quite there yet as a solid system. And it isn't much faster than a 1:1 duplicator, but it will print labels on discs. It's really up to you and what options you are looking for. I have had success with my aleratec.

    Thanks

  3. That's disappointing news about the Bravo II, I'd been thinking of getting one. How old is your system? I know they update things regularly.

    With two Opti-Lites, Nero and a lowly Epson R-200, it takes me about four or five hours to churn out 100 DVDs.

  4. The guy I know that has the bravo two has had to send it back to fix a couple of mechanical issues mainly. He is running a 3000 disc run through it this week, so we'll see how that goes. That should give a good sence of how the bravo performs. I will let you know. I don't want you to discourage you from it, seems like a very good concept, but there are a lot of things that can go wrong in the process. Great for printing on discs however. Let me know if anyone needs any duplication work done. I can do it for a very good price.

    Thanks

    I have a Bravo II and it works great! I've had mine for over a year and never had a problem.

    I use DVD cloner III. It can be found at www.dvd-cloner.com It can burn a back up of your hollywood videos, or your last wedding video I would imagine.

    but i do know, if you want to copy hollywood dvd's, you can't beat this product period. One click, 1:1 copy times depending on your CPU. It is around 50 bucks and kicks all butt in the cloning world! Used it for the past 3 years.

  8.  Look into Vinpower Digital.  They have a full array of duplicators for small and large.

    We use a lot of their stuff and it is pretty solid.

    We have a few Bravo Pro machines, but they have been finicky in my experience.

    If for just few copies I would simply use my Epson R-280.  But for more copies I have been using New Cyberian for our DVD duplication for years.  Their prices are decent and the quality is also excellent.

    I once had a bad experience with DVD Duplication I lost all my data and It was important to me ........I am sharing this with you ppl so that you can make a better choice.

  12. I'm not a fan of the all in one CD DVD disc publishers like the Primera Bravo II, Bravo Pro, or any other publisher unit. These units jam too easily and are a real pain in the %@$@. The Microboards units are no better, those units also jam all the time.

    If you are doing a decent amount of discs, it's best to purchase an automated printer and a manual tower duplicator. Do a search for "dvd duplicator" on google. You'll find several companies that sell tower duplicators. Don't waste your money on a aleratec duplicator. Basically the same thing except you are paying double the price.

  13.  I Agree with burnsmart, all in one print and duplication systems do not seem to work very well.  After 6 years of experience in the disc duplication industry, we have found that a stand alone printer and a stand alone duplicator has been the most trouble free solution.  Many of our competitors also employ the same......

    I hope this is useful.
