Possible to burn 2 separate discs at one time?
I seem to recall reading somewhere that if 2 separate burners are hooked up,
it is possible to record different discs at the same time. I think that it involved duplicating the software used to burn the CDR and choosing the appropriate burner/drive for the respective disc being burned. Of course, in trying to find a Usenet article concerning this, I found nothing! Did I imagine this? Much thanks for any help! _____________________ Regards, Paul Soderman I'm also on AOL as Kidpocono |

I googled for "two burners" "in one machine", and a few articles (for PC) indicate problems with 2 burners & the source harddrive sharing IDE controllers. Otherwise, I dunno. |

It is said Nero supports that but they certainly don't make it easy for you to find such a feature. |

Only retail Nero allows this option, and only to 2 drives at once. They do
have to be "very similar" drives, and must both be burning at the same speed and write strategy to avoid buffer issues. They can be on the same IDE channel, or separate, doesn't matter with most IDE controllers. Burning to 2 drives from different programs ( or 2 instances of Nero) is no problem either as long as the drives are on separate channels and your HD/system is up to doing the 2 tasks at once.

The message from xnxnxnx (FOR7b) contains these words: snip I have Nero and two identical writers and have yet to be able to figure out how to write to both from the same time. It is said Nero supports that but they certainly don't make it easy for you to find such a feature. The option to burn using both recorders,which don't have to be identical,is on the 'Burn' tab in the 'compilation' properties. I think it's only available in the retail version of Nero. -- Cheers, Derek, "75% of statistics are made up on the spur of the moment" |

There is software designed explicitly for burning concurrently to several identical drives; the one I've seen (sorry, I don't remember which) was a premium version of a common program, designed for a duplication installation. Other programs will let you do as you ask, using two instances of the program writing to different drives from different source files. In that case, the drives do not have to be identical. At one time, I experimented successfully with that using CDRWin; both drives were on the same SCSI card. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

In the Burn tab of New Compilation or Write CD window, check "Use Multiple Recorders". Ideally you want the drives with the same model and firmware version, but all Nero requires is there should be common write speed. |
