burning a dvd over a network>>>> suggestions needed

[keziah]

Well here i go

Has anyone tried burning a dvd over a network ???

to elaborate

the dvd video folder is on 1 computer and i will like to know if if it would work if i open nero on

another computer and direct it to the files on the first or rather transfer it over to one of the other system then burn

the reason i asked is that my files are stored on my faster system pentium 4 3.4 2 ghz ram which i

use for

encoding and authoring which i dont like stopping to do other tasks such as burning. plus I am

afraid of having bad burns sinch all the programs demand high resources

should i set up a network and output the files from my authoring programs to my other

systems 2 ( pentium 4 2.2 1 ghz ram)

and burn them there ??

Or direct NERO to the files on the first system then burn from there over the network

i dont have a router yet but i am looking to get a gigabyte one.

What would you do

I presently tranfer the files using a 40 gig hard drive in a portable enclosure

Yes

I have

done that

before

but i havent

dont it in

a

while. i did

it back when i

was burning

at

4x speed.

i'm not sure

how it would work

at 16x

but the

dvd-r's

are cheap enough

that you could

give one

a shot.

good

luck.

No problem if both pc's a relatively fast ... but this method really is not recommended , as you are adding another step ... which could "blink" at any time during the process ... with modern burner's this is nolonger an issue , as they wait ...

I use this method under "extreme" condition's ... backing up failing hd's from one pc to another ... effectively imaging the drive before it crap's out .

In your situation , best transfer a "copy" of the file's to the other pc ... once over there , you can delete the original back on the original pc ...

Many burning programs can automatically copy network files to the local machine before starting to burn. But I burn from network shares all the time without it. I do limit the burn speed to 8x though.
