sorry i didnt know which forum to post this in. i was wondering what was the difference and is one better than the other when it comes to cd replication or duplication??? thanks in advance.
 
The words are pretty much synonymous to one another. I guess they mean pretty much the same thing. Unless there is a technical reason why some manufactures use the 2 different words.

Main Entry: du·pli·ca·tion
Pronunciation: "dü-pli-'kA-sh&n also "dyü-
Function: noun
Date: 15th century
1 a : the act or process of duplicating b : the quality or state of being duplicated
2 : DUPLICATE, COUNTERPART


Main Entry: rep·li·ca·tion
Pronunciation: "re-pl&-'kA-sh&n
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
1 a : ANSWER, REPLY b (1) : an answer to a reply : REJOINDER (2) : a plaintiff's reply to a defendant's plea, answer, or counterclaim
2 : ECHO, REVERBERATION
3 a : COPY, REPRODUCTION b : the action or process of reproducing
4 : performance of an experiment or procedure more than once; especially : systematic or random repetition of agricultural test rows or plats to reduce error


They both sound the same to me.
