BullseyeDisc: CD-ROM Premastering

CD-ROM Premastering

"Premastering" is the conversion of your data files into the CD-ROM format. With CD-Recordable drives being so common, most of our clients handle this and send the final CD-R to us for mastering & replication. However, if you don't have a CD-R drive, or if you need something tricky (like a Windows/Macintosh hybrid CD containing native file structures for each platform), we can handle it for you.

$75/original Windows or Mac disc ($150 for Mac/PC hybrid), $5/extra disc
Turnaround: usually one business day (call for details)
Add $25 for overnighting the disc back to you for testing (or supply us your FedEx / UPS account)

Please let us know the volume name you want for the disc and send the files to us.

HOW MANY MB/DISC?
The standard size limit for a CD-ROM written in Mode 1 data (the standard mode for computer
files) is 650MB (681,574,400 Million Bytes. (a MegaByte defined as 1,024Kb, a KiloByte defined as 1,024 bytes) We can fit up to 700MB on a disc, however, it violates the specifications and we would need you to sign a waiver before we could replicate the discs.

FILES & DIRECTORIES
We recommend putting very few files in the root directory (top level) and less than a hundred files in any one directory. If you have lots of folders, it is helpful to include a `screen-shot’ of how you want your directory structure setup.
