Nobody presses their own DVD discs, not even large Hollywood studios. The process is far too expensive and specialized for low volume.

BTW, funny how JMP tried to sell his movies to every damn company here in Brazil, and they all refused - even the poorest ones.

You have a porn company? (I'm just sitting here, shaking my head nooooooooo). So let get this straight, someone is going to pay you to see you fuck some tranny bareback?

Thats because none of his films have chicks with dicks. If he did, every person (yourself included) would be buying his shit.

In fact, the company I work used to outsell Stagliano´s shit by a 4/1 ratio - and that was BEFORE we purchased the pressing equipment. Now I think this number grew much, much larger.

The whole set up didn't look like it cost more than a few thousand dollars especially since a Primera 400 disc capacity duplicator runs about $8000 - which isn't much for a guy driving an SL.

We have three of those. Two Bravo Pro and one Composer Max.

I know for a fact that Red Light District duplicates their own DVDs. They showed me the set-up. If I remember correctly, I think they run right off Final Cut output.

Every Red Light DVD I've seen is pressed, not burned. You can get burners like the one Smartt shows for a few thousands of dollars. Setting up a plant that can take the output of Final Cut and produce pressed DVD costs millions of dollars and requires somewhat skilled operators.

The problem isn't so much literally pressing the blanks but rather inscribing the glass master and producing quality father and then mother metal masters off of that, and finally the stampers. This has to be done in a clean-room environment. A subtle problem on the glass master might mean that every disc would work in some players but not others; a problem with the metal masters or stampers would mean some day's production would work and some would not. No studio wants that hassle, or an investment of that size that will be written off once Blu-Ray or HD-DVD appears.

(porn studios probably skip the metal masters and just make stampers off of the glass master directly)

There's no substantial cost for setup to make burned DVDs but there is a setup fee (NRE) – still over $1,000? - for pressed DVDs. But, pressed DVDs cost tens of cents to make in quantity whereas burned DVDs may cost as much as a dollar. If you're going to sell less than 100 of a disc then burning may make sense but if you're selling 1,000+ copies then pressing wins.

I'm sure Red Light and other studios do burn some copies to test/check the final edit before committing to a production run and perhaps to get early screeners before the production run comes back. But no way does anyone use burned discs for the customer run.

Last year Extreme was shipping burned DVDs. Either nobody was willing to take an order from Rob Black to do a production run of pressed discs or he got high and thought burning made sense. Or maybe he was shipping only 100 units of each product. Whatever the case it wasn't a mark of genius.

Maybe Smartt can tell us how handing out babywipes on a Brazilian porn set differs from handing out babywipes on an American set.

Yes, I do. And no, I can´t hire you. Nothing personal, you´re cute and all, but you just don´t have what it takes. We´re very selective with out casting.

---

That's right, Gia, you don't meet the rigorous selection criteria of Brazillian porn:
1. You're not a 15-year old boy
2. You're not a tranny
3. You don't have AIDS
4. You're not Ariana Jollee
5. You agree that smartt's wrinkled pecker is hideous.

Plus, you don´t do anal, and that´s a no-no. No anal, no job.

Huh? You don't actually watch porn, do you? You just burn the CD's by day and lure unspsecting young boys into your cave of homoerotic pleasure by night.

What the fuck are babywipes?

Those are the things you wipe jizz off with. I imagine Brazillians just let those AIDS-infested tadpoles dry on the tranny's skin, when they can pick them off along with their Syphillis scars.

Take a page from the book Smartt's Guide For Power Bottoms, Gia, anal is the only way to go.

Oh wait a moment what is this. Looks like smartt is wrong yet again.

I never took a break from the industry. It's true that I only made 10 films my first year - mostly for Elegant Angel. I didn´t do anal and lived out of state.

No you can go fuck yourself again, 2Clit.

Wrong, AIDS-breath...have2cit's information was newer than yours, so he is "righter than you" (your own words).

Smartt isn't so smart. There's a difference between didn't do anal and do anal. Smartt, pick up a wayward mochachino boy slut selling firecrackers this New Years Eve and spoon each other while reading Hooked On Phonics to learn the difference between past tense and present tense.

Damn I hope the guy typing for Gia is getting a lot of tail from her. That shit's wicked mean. If it's really Gia then X 5
