I know mobility is the hallmark of any cool gadget, but a mobile DVD duplicator? Why not, I guess. The EZ Dupe Ultra Slim Single-Target Portable DVD Duplicator touts itself as “world’s first Ultra Slim Portable DVD/CD Lightscribe Duplicator.”
The RIAA is going to love this.
It comes with two drives, which allows for duplicating DVDs at 8x, and CDs at 16x (RW speeds clock in at half that for both formats). It’s also multi format, meaning that it’ll burn both plus and minus DVD discs, in addition to CDs, Multi-session Photo CD™, and VCDs (does anyone make these anymore?). In addition, those who love to make “mix tape” style CDs can give dupes the personal touch thanks to its Track Editing Function.
And although it connects to a PC via USB 2.0 (why anything that uses video isn’t automatically firewire I’ll never know) it can also duplicate discs directly without PC connection. This is great news for music pirates who can pretend to listen to CD demo stations while they’re running dupes out of their messenger bags.
The Light scribe labeling option, however, obviously requires PC setup since it relies on software to lay out the label design before burning the image into DVD.
Slim. Portable. Duplication. Lightscribe. And at a speed that isn’t too bad for an “ultra slim portable DVD duplicator.” However, hovering at a price of somewhere between $400-$500, it isn’t cheap.

I can’t imagine what the battery drain would be for a device like this, running both a read and a write laser with 2 motors.
Using LightSpeed to make labels is typically a slow slow process. This device might be nice to make dups of DVDs and then print a color label on them using a DiscPainter. $400-500 is pushing it though.
^agree
Lightscribe looks kind of cool, but inking looks a lot better I think.
i like my dymo…it lets me do watever i want with the ablility to look professional all the time..it takes only 3 mins to print on the best feature.the software is cool but i like the option from rinting from photoshop or quarkexpress.

I just love that little cute printer…omg it perfect for when i do my scrapbooking…let me tell you…now i know that i print all my pictures for the scrap book its self but then i choose one and thats the cover picture for the cd that i put in the back…omg all my friends love when i do my scrapbooks and they ask me to do theirs also.
I had the epson and it was such a hassle…but i decided to try the dymo andi love it…it easy to use and you do one cd at a time so it can’t mess us…its perfect and very small…i can even travel with it.
