| What is Dub-It's Check Disc policy? |
Check discs are available as a customer’s option. The quality of video content- and proper functioning of a CD- is dependent on the client’s preparation of the CD master. Dub-It uses Eclipse mastering software to test for data integrity prior to producing a glass master and stamper. Eclipse testing will find data and data structure errors on client masters, but Eclipse will not test for audio content quality or navigation functionality. It is the customer’s responsibility to provide a CD master that has been thoroughly reviewed and tested before submission to Dub-It for mastering and replication.
NOTE: Once the client’s CD master passes all pre-mastering tests, a glass master & stamper is prepared and CD disc replication proceeds at the quantity ordered.
If a customer requests a check disc, the glass master and stamper must first be completed. Dub-It will then provide a check disc(s) at the same cost as disc replication.
NOTE: Preparation of check discs will add time to overall production schedule.
