1) What are Pre-Packaged DVD's?
Pre-Packaged DVD's (PPDVDs) are Blank, Recordable DVD-R's that have been printed and packaged in a complete "Retail-Ready" DVD Package. All you have to do is remove the un-burned DVD, drop it in your computer or duplicator and burn your DVD. From there, re-insert it into the already completed package and hand it right off to your client. The value to using PPDVDs are:

- They are manufactured using your artwork
- They save you the Time & Money of trying to create professional looking packaging.
- They are extremely cost effective.

2) Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, absolutely! Everything we do here at Chicago Digital, from our CD & DVD Packaging to Full Service Editing is 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

3) What if I don't have a Credit Card, how else can I make payment?
If you do not have a credit card, you may make payment by check, made payable to:

Analog Free Media
111 E. Ninth St.
Lockport, IL 60441 USA

4) I am interested in having video edited, what is my first step?
The first step is to call us and speak with a project manager. From there they will collect all the necessary information needed to provide you with a detailed description and estimate for your project. Please click here for our contact information.

5) How do I go about having CDs or DVD's duplicated?
The first step is to call us and get a quote for your project. From there they will get all the necessary information needed to provide you with a detailed estimate of cost for you project. Please click here for our contact information.

6) What is the difference between "Duplication" and "Replication"?
While the difference between the two is significant, the simple answer is that 'duplication' involves the process of "burning" copies of the master, whereas 'replication' uses the process of physically stamping copies of the master. These days good quality 'duplication' is just as dependable and reliable as 'replication' if done properly using high-quality media and equipment. For more detailed information about Duplication vs. Replication, please give us a call.

7) What is the benefit to having you print my DVD's or CDs as opposed to me printing them with Inkjet?
There are a couple of major benefits to having AFM print your discs for you using Dye-Sublimation Thermal Re-transfer Printing.
Benefit #1: They are much more professional looking with 35mm photographic quality image printing.
Benefit #2: They are more durable, and will not smear, smudge, scratch or fade as Inkjet printed discs will do.
If you are looking for a professional looking disc, that will outlast and outperform all others, let us provide you with Dye-Sub Printed Discs.

8) Can you print blank discs for me?
Yes, that is one of our specialties! We print blank CDs and DVD's in bulk for many of our clients.

9) If I make a mistake while burning one of the PPDVD's, can I get another disc only? or do I have to buy a whole package?
We provide PPDVD replacement discs for any package that is purchased for a nominal cost. Please contact us to process a replacement request.

10) What guidelines are there for Photo Submissions?
The Photos you submit should be at least 300dpi (dots per inch), and can be in any format including ".jpg", ".gif", ".tif". The dimensions of the photo should be in the neighborhood of 1024x768 for best printing. The bigger the picture, the better it will look when printed.

11) Can I email you my photo's?
Yes, you certainly can. However, they can be no larger than 3MB in size due to email server restrictions. If your pictures are more than 3MB in size, you may also FTP them to us. Please contact us to request FTP access.

Instructions will be provided for how to transfer files to us and we can always provide additional assitance if needed.

12) Where can I download templates to design my own Cases & Disc Faces?
Please check out our Forms & Templates page located under 'Support', or just click here

13) Can I send my DVD or CD to you electronically instead of having to ship it?
Absolutely. There are steps necessary to ensure that the file is properly formatted as an .ISO file and is properly encapsulated using WinRAR to ensure that precisely what you send is received. But by using these steps we can guarantee that your DVD or CD will be received by us exactly as it has been created by you, ensuring 100% absolute copies of the original disc you created. The step-by-step guide is available here.
