CD and DVD
We produce complete Turnkey Services for CD and DVD. Our production starts from the pre-mastering of the original copy of your CD or DVD, then it follows with the replication process. Our packaging service will put the products in a custom box and ship them to your desired location.
CD Pre-Mastering
Pre-mastering acquires your data provided on floppy, ZIP disk, hard disk, JAZ disk, etc. and places it on a recordable CD (CD-R). With this CD-R, you can freely make multiple copies of additional CD-R's or you can use this disc to create thousands of replicated CD's. We charge much less for this service than other companies based on our volume. Our team
has many years of CD pre-mastering knowledge and experience.

Let us tell you a little about DVD
The DVD discs can store from 4.7 GB (single sided, single layer) up to 17.0 GB (double sided, dual layer per side for a total of 4 layers of information). Each layer of data on a DVD disc will allow up to 133 minutes of full motion MPEG-2 video. This amount of playing time will allow 95% of most movies to be contained on one side of a disc. This new disc will also support a variable bit data rate, which will increase the quality of digital video playback thanks to a substantial buffer memory. The new DVD movie players are also capable of seamless switching between the two layers of information on each side of the disc. Currently, The Gate produces only from 4.7 GB - 9.4 GB, as this is more than enough for most music albums.
The new DVD standard adopts a format of using two half-thickness (0.6mm) discs bonded together for a double-sided disc. The new standard also allows for 3M's dual layer "2P" technology to be used.
A summary of DVD capacities
- 4.7 GB (Single Layer Single Side)
- 8.5 GB (Dual Layer Single Side)
- 9.4 GB (Single Layer Double Side)
- 17.0 GB (Dual Layer Double Side)
