I was wondering if someone had a recommendation for a company that duplicates and packages DVD's with custom artwork. I'm probably looking for a starting order of about 1000. I'd like to save as much money as possible while still going with a reputable company.

http://www.discmakers.com/ is a good place to start. There are others. A google search helps.

talk to earl over at http://www.dcamediasolutions.com/

he's been in the dupe business for over 10 years... probably not the cheapest quote you'll get, but he is a real pro... tell him you talked to dan, the guy that makes the vw drag racing videos.

We had great results with discmakers too. In addition to wonderful
customer service which answered all our questions in order to
produce a DVD-9 (Hollywood's duel layer choice), the quality
of their artwork is really nice imo. Our complex In-Design
files came back looking perfect to my eye. Don't forget about
how your whole package will appear to the end customer.

As another option I use New Leaf Media. I have done over 20,000 disks with them and been very happy everytime.
