I'm looking for the latest into on out-puting DDP files onto a data DVD, and then sending that to a replication house. anyone know any details on quality or process? I looked on Adobe's user to user Encore board, and they don't have much.

thanks

Have never used the DDP files, and believe those needed to be supplied on tape. Please note that most replication houses will accept a standard DVD-R master now if that helps. Unless maybe you are needing to add encryption or something that necessitates DDP?

Thanks

I have sent a dual layer DVD to a duplication house as DDP 2.0 burned as data files using Roxio Toast. From what I understand they will not accept a dual-layer burned DVD as a master. While tape is optimal, the big replication houses will accept DDP files on DVD-R as DATA FILES. I've done this with DVD Studio Pro a few times, there's simply an option during the burn process to output to DDP as opposed to hard drive or disc. For example, would end up with a "Layer 0" and "Layer 1" folder for a dual layer disc. Burn those folders in their entirety to a DVD-R using a utility like Toast and send it as a DDP 2.0 data disc.

The bottom of this page was helpful to me: Preparing your master for replication

Here's some info about Encore, seems like there's an option just like DVDSP: Encore Help | Building the finished project

Keep in mind this info only applies to the replication houses I've used and YMMV concerning what other companies will or will not accept. Good luck!
