Cheap DVD Duplicator

[dust'n the callipygous]

I'm currently working on a video for the radio station at my university. We'll need about 200 copies of the finished product on DVD. Last year we went through a local company to get them made (for about $700), but I searched around and found this:

With all of the burners, it looks like I could build a 1:9 DVD duplicator for under $500. I could give our guys a quote for the same price as the place we went last year, which would cover the cost duplication tower, plus the blank DVDs. I'd then have a DVD Duplication tower I could use for anything else that comes up. The only bad part would be buying ink and loading them individually into my printer afterwards.

Is there something I'm missing here? Can the DVD controllers in these things just automatically copy a DVD I've made with DVD Studio or something similar?

This has peaked my interest. How would the printing work? Getting it to have that professional look? I'm sure it'd cost more than a few hundred bucks. Tens of thousands maybe?

i'd just be getting inkjet printable discs and printing through my canon printer. it's way cheaper than thermal printing and still looks good. i'm just wondering if it'll copy the full dvd just like i want it to or not.
