2 . CD and DVD Replication Overview

You will have to have some particular pieces of computer equipment on your PC or MAC before you can make a DVD replication or a CD replication. You must have a DVD burning drive to do a DVD duplication, just as you must have a CD-ROM drive in order to do a CD-ROM duplication. If you have a combination drive, it can do either.
Here is where it gets a little tricky. If you have a combo drive only, then you have to rip the CD or DVD onto your hard drive first, then burn a copy for yourself using your combo drive. If you have both a CD-ROM and a DVD drive, then you can make a CD replication without having to rip it to your hard drive first. You can simply play the CD in one drive while duplicating it at the same time in the other drive.

You must be sure you have a DVD burning drive before attempting DVD replication. If you simply have a DVD-ROM drive, that means your computer is only set up to play DVDs, not copy them. The same goes for CD drives as well.

3 . Ripping a DVD or CD to Your Hard Drive First

If you do not have the ability to simultaneously play and burn in order to make a CD replication or DVD replication, then you do have alternatives. As previously mentioned, you can rip the CD or DVD in question to your hard drive, then make a DVD duplication or CD duplication. In order to rip a CD or DVD to your hard drive, you must have the proper type of program. If you are using a PC, then you likely already have a media player that was pre-installed with your Windows operating system. As for DVD duplication, this would require a special DVD ripping program that you likely don't have preinstalled. There are dozens of reputable programs for doing this, some of which are free of charge on the internet. Simply do an Internet search for "DVD Replication Program" and you will likely find several. Be sure to check consumer comments to ensure you are receiving a quality program.

4 . Burning a DVD or CD

Once you have ripped the CD or DVD to your hard drive (if indeed you need to do this step) then it is time to burn it. Burning a CD is computer lingo for CD replication and DVD replication. You are basically going to make a copy of something for backup or other uses. It requires you to have a blank CD or DVD in order to complete the task. There are varying degrees of blank CDs and DVDs that will be discussed towards the end of the tutorial.
You would simply insert your blank CD replication disc or DVD duplication disc into the proper slot of your computer and then run the program you have installed onto your hard drive that allows you to make CD replications and DVD replications. The choice of program is up to you—whichever one you find that makes you feel comfortable and is the easiest for you to use. There is no right or wrong program, just whatever feels user-friendly and intuitive to each individual user in Virginia.
