Building a High quality master Disc
Having the accurate burn speed and quality media is important to have a good quality copy.
1. Use a high quality or branded DVD or CD like Taiyo-Yuden and Philips when building your master disc.
2. Set your first quality master CD at a slow burning speed. Refrain from burning at 16x speed or higher when burning a high quality video or music CD.
3. Always test your master CD on different types of disc players to assure that it plays in all kinds of disc drives (e.g. Car stereo, CD player, computer disc drive).
Then here you go, always follow this simple checklist to have a high quality copy of your original CD. I used this checklist a lot and it will really save you time, money, and effort. If you’ve got more insights or addition to this checklist, I’d love to hear them!
