Tips to create Flawless Master Copies for Duplication & Replication:

• To create the master copy, selection of the high quality optical storage disk is important. You must
  
  always make sure that you invest the money in buying a disc from reliable & reputable brand. To create the good copies, it is important that the master copy has high quality, and which do not get corrupt when creating the duplicates.
• To use a network source directly for copying the master disc is a strict no. You must first copy the content on the local drive and then burn the CD/ DVD. In case, the copying on local drive is not possible, then there is also an option of hard drive first. With this method, a temporary file gets created on the system at the time of burning which gets deleted automatically once the data gets copied.
• In case, you are using the laptop to burn the copy, then simply ensure that the battery is charged completely. By not doing so, it might create the fluctuations or interruptions in the data copying, which would ultimately affect the quality of the discs.
• There is a method of packet writing for disc burning. If you too are thinking about using this method, then we would advise you to re think about this. This method has re-writing capabilities, due to which this is adopted at a major level. But still, if you will talk about its effectiveness then it is not up to the mark, as it is not compatible with every CD-ROM drive.
• During the disc burning process, try not to make any movement in the drive. By doing this, there is a
  
  possibility of track jump or skip. If this happens, then the quality would not be as per the satisfaction. 
  
• For disc burning, there is a “burn proof” feature. This is quite effective method for burning discs. If you have this option available with you, then try to use it.  People say that it slower downs the speed off data supply, but this is also a fact that the quality received with this method is satisfactory. So, for high quality, if you have to sacrifice a bit in terms of speed, then it shouldn’t be a matter of concern.
  
  
• You should also keep one another aspect into consideration. Make sure that too many applications are not opened at the time of copying the data. If the applications are open, then it would affect the ability of the burner drive in supplying data.

So, these are the tips, which you must keep into consideration while creating master copies for your replication or duplication project.
