Preparing your master to send to your vendor is the most important step on the process. A master that is prepared incorrectly can cause delays and playability issues. Correctly prepping the master eliminates any problems that might cause delays. It is crucially important that you test the master in several other players other than one the player it was created on.

There are many brands of media to choose from. With so much low quality cheap media on the market, it's easy to try and save a few cents and use the cheap stuff. Remember, the master is what your copies are going to be made from and low quality media might not produce the best result. It's best to spend a few extra cents and buy higher quality media like Mitsui, Maxell, or Taiyo Yuden. The company performing the work for you should be able to recommend a quality brand for you to use for the master.

It is extremely important that you label your master clearly with your company name and project title. Duplication facilitates deal with many different titles on a daily basis and if you don't clearly label it, you may experience a delay or worse have the project mixed up with some other project. Take the few extra moments to label the master with a label or marker that is approved to write on the face of a disc. Do not try to use a ball point pin to mark on the disc, it will ruin the disc.

Duplication houses will not test your master on various players. They instead will use a bit by bit verification system and test the copies to the master to assure that they are an exact copy of the master. This is why it's important for you to test your master in several different players to assure it plays as expected. Don't just test it in the system that you burned it on. In some older burners, they can produce a master that will only play well in the system it was created on. If you test it other systems, you will assure it has no playability issues.

Vendors are in the business to perform a service for you and if you have any questions about the mastering process, ask them. Taking a few extra moments to produce and test the master correctly will assure that your project is as trouble free as possible.
