You won't get a straight answer because there isn't one, It all comes down to storeage and handling. I will replace a defective disc for a year but if its comes back with major damage from handling then I will charge them. You could send them out to be replicated, the cost is around $35-50 for the master and $7-15 per copy with dvd case, art and shrink wraped. I would not worry about the cost to much, in the US the average wedding cost $10,000 - 15,000. So $1500 video dose not seem like alot, just give a good pitch and act like you "need" them, make them think they "need" you. I have noticed that if you give "package deals" they will try to eliminate things to get the price down instead come up with your hourly rate, find out how much they want to spend and go from there.
