Single DVD Duplicator workflow
- Joshua W Kinney
- Lawrence Horvat
This workflow will walk you through how to use the Single DVD duplicator tools to create a duplicate of your DVD. It is best used to make copies of DVDs with copy protection or PAL DVD's from regions other than region 1 that cannot otherwise be copied.
If your DVD does not have copy protection and is a region 1 disc, use the DVD one to many duplicator workflow.
- Please note that this requires an unused DVD-R/RW. If you need to purchase a DVD-R, RTF equipment checkout in HSM 2.102, 7-11, & the University Coop sell them.

Place the DVD you want to copy into '5 - DVD player' also labeled as Source. |
