 From what I've heard, it only makes sense to make a glass DVD master  
if you are doing over 1000 copies. So that's why a lot of independent  
filmmakers who sell their works just burn copies individually on  
their computers, or use machines that burn several at a time. The  
quality is not as good, but it is cheaper to produce for small runs  
of like 100 or 200.
