Introduction to DiskFaktory

You will need to use the duplication services of DiskFaktory if you are submitting any time-based work samples (music/audio or film/video).

Last year, United States Artists conducted a search for a high-quality duplication services organization and chose DiskFaktory for its reputation, physical proximity, and reasonable prices. Our experience working with them was excellent.

The deadline for the application and work samples is April 28, 2008 (5:00PM PT). All audio and video work samples must be received on or before this date by DiskFaktory. Postmarked by the deadline date is not acceptable.


To begin the process of preparing your time-based work samples for submission, please fill in the necessary information on the following pages.

You will not be uploading your actual samples here, they must be sent to DiskFaktory by a carrier that provides delivery confirmation like UPS, DHL, FedEx, or United States Postal Service with Delivery Confirmation. Once DiskFaktory has received your submission, you will receive an automatic confirmation email. Additionally please keep your own delivery confirmation receipt from the mail carrier that you use.


We require all time-based work samples to go to DiskFaktory for the following reasons:

  • To ensure discs are properly formatted for consistent operation.
  • To ensure discs are properly and consistently labeled.
  • To create 10 copies of each disc submitted (all copies are included in the cost).

In order to reimburse you for costs incurred during the application process and to encourage early applications, we offer the following for completed applications:

  • $125 if submitted by April 12, 2008
  • $100 if submitted between April 13 - 19, 2008
  • $75 if submitted between April 20 - 28, 2008


Key points to consider for time-based work sample submissions:

  • Only your time-based work sample(s) should be sent to DiskFaktory. Your images, identification of work form, resumes, scripts, etc., need to be submitted through the online application process. In other words, all .jpg, .pdf, and .doc files should be submitted online.
  • Your work sample(s) must be received by DiskFaktory on or before April 28, 2008.
  • Please give yourself plenty of time to use DiskFaktory’s services. We are here to help you, but cannot accommodate last-minute requests.
  • For Video submission master discs, we only accept single layer DVD-R media with 4.7 GB or single layer DVD-5 replicated discs without CSS encryption or regional coding. Dual Layer, DVD-9 or higher, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD disc masters are not acceptable.
