I have a DVD created in Final Cut Pro exported to iDVD and burnt on a DVD-R.  I need 100 copies or so made with cases.  There are so many DVD duplicator outfits out and I want to make sure I choose a reportable oufilt before I put my name on it.  
Have any of you mass duplicated DVD's and if so, who do you recomend?
I have a deadline by June 3rd so I need some direction soon...
Has anyone ever used CDROM2GO.com?
Thanks
Joe

What I would do is this.  Make 3 local copies.
Now send one each of those three to the three companies you like.
Compare quality of discs & video.
No one sends one disk to one company to copy one disk.  You tell them you want a sample.
Just an idea.  Reputable companies will provide you with a sample of the product.  They may not provide the "complete" video, but will cut it to show you their quauilty.
For instance, I used a Sony camera, then Panasonic then I used a Canon before I purchased the XL-1S's.
And, something else, you might find someone in your local phone book that is reliable.

Thanks Bob for your reply, although I have a time frame and most of these outfits are calling for a week minimum for output.  I simply dont have the time to do this...  I will not know for sure how many orders I will need until the 21st of May.  This is why I asked if anyone had expirence with DVD duplicator outfits...
Thanks again, 
Anyone else?

Check out NoFrillsDVD (www.nofrillsdvd.com) in South Boston.  I used them on a project a few months ago and found them very helpful and easy to work with.  They can also do short runs.

I haven't used them yet, but I did talk to them as I was doing research and was impressed.  They'll pretty much do anything you want, including short run DVD-R with disc printing.  Their prices are competitive.  They will accept a master on DVD-R general media.  They have a number of locations.
