I am having DVD duplicator problems, mine died and I purchased a new one, and it is giving me fits!!! What kind of duplicator are you all using and are you getting many failures?

I have 2 Recordex Duplicators. They are 1 x 6 or if you want to take the time to put your video in the memory it'll make 7 copies. ! have had the oldest one about 5 years and the other one about 3 years. I have had very little trouble with them and I have made 1000's of copies on the oldest one, I only use both occasionally. I replaced all the drives about a year ago. A couple had quit and when the 3rd quit I just changed them all. It was a simple process just take a few screws out unplug and plug ib and re install the screws on each one. The factory is in GA and they will work with you to no end and they have never ask for any compensation for helping me.

Thank you for the response...I have the recordex DVD/CD printer and have no problems with it. Works great. The duplication of the DVD has been a different issue. I loved the old machine but it just died. Thanks again.

I tried to respond to your PM but it wouldn't let me. The recordex Duplicators Compare the copies to the master and wil not eject it automatically if there is a difference. I have no good way of knowing how many DVD's I have sold off of these Duplicators but its got to be in the thousands and I have never had one come back thats failed. When a Disc fails it is here in my studio not in my customers player. The duplicator I had before this was a different story. I had many failed disc's in the customers hands. Like you said it ain't good fer business! I hope you work out your problem. Thanks Bob...

The duplicator company has really tried hard to resolve my problem. They are replacing the duplicator and I think this will certainly do the trick... They have been very nice and concerned about this problem and have walked me through many work arounds. I never have an easy problem, it's always an odd one.

Alex, you make it sound like it was easy to build. Do you have a background in electronics or did they give you instructions?
