If you have the ISO file for your DVD you can use our web-based software to upload your ISO file to our system. We will manufacture DVDs with an exact copy of your ISO file. If you have DVD Video files (*.IFO, *.BUP, *.VOB) you can use our web-based software to upload your video filess to our system.

If you do NOT have DVD Video mastered files but you have video files in any popular format (MOV, WVM, MPA, MP4, AVI, etc) you can use our web-based software to upload those files and your artwork to our system. Our system will create a DVD converting your video files to the mastered DVD-format.

If you need to control the mastering yourself we also offer software that uploads a perfect bit-by-bit copy of your own already-mastered DVD video ISO file

If you are creating a non-video DVD such as a data DVD our web-based upload software lets you select and upload those files (and whole folder trees) to our server.

Once you have uploaded your video and artwork files our system instantly generates a virtual DVD (exact replica of your DVD) with virtual DVD player so you can review how your DVD looks and plays. This lets you check evything before you spend money and place an order.

All artwork for the DVD disc and case needs to be in JPG/JPEG format.

The disc print image you select should be square and without the circular or hub masks. Our software masks the cd and hub shape for you.

Our factory prints the disc, the case covers, and the inserts at 300 DPI / RGB no bleed.

Your monitor’s resolution is much less than 300 DPI. Therefore, the disc and case rendered on your monitor has a significantly lower resolution than the manufactured product.

Bleed areas are not needed. We use precise digital cutting machines that automatically adjust for print shift. However, we still suggest that you do not place text or lines adjacent to the edges.

You may also use our CD disc and jewel case design software to help you design your CD disc and jewel case. Click here to access the CD design tool.

The images you select for the disc print and package covers and insert will be stretched (resampled) to fit the package and disc. Therefore, they need not match the dimensions listed below. To minimize resampling you should select images that are at least proportional and preferably precisely equal to the dimensions listed below.

The table below lists the dimensions in millimeters, inches and pixels

note: for disc images use a square image rather than a circular, masked image.

The biggest advantage to on-demand manufacturing is distribution. On-demand manufacturing opens the door to the most seamless, lowest cost, friction-free distribution capabilities for your DVD products. It offers you the highest payouts for your product and is the path of least resistance. Easily change, discontinue, and create new DVDs.

• Sell your DVD on your web site or sites like facebook/twitter at no cost to you with paypal. The sales proceeds flow directly into your paypal account. The order information (name, address, items ordered) flows directly to Kunaki. As sales occur you log into your Kunaki account and fund the pending orders. As soon as your orders are funded Kunaki fulfills the orders.
  
  You control the revenue and only pay kunaki the cost of manufacturing and shipping.
  
  Examples:
  If your DVD retail price is $20.00 and $5.20 for shipping your paypal revenue will be $25.20. You will pay Kunaki $1.30 for manufacturing and $5.20 for shipping for a total expense of $6.50. Your net payout will be $18.70.


• Use Kunaki to drop ship DVDs to your customers, stores, distributors.
  
  This drop-ship capability reduces your shipping expenses because the shipment goes directly to where you need it. And, of course you do not need to manufacture and store inventory.

You will receive the tracking ids for each recipient. Many Kunaki publishers use this feature to fulfill subscription orders.


• Kunaki XML and HTML service. The XML Web service is an alternative to the product sales pages and allows distributers and publishers to send DVD orders to our manufacturing and fulfillment facility.

We provide you with a real time accounting system that details each order with product id, quantity, date, and recipient with address.
