Can I use two DVD burner on one computer?

[DoGGx23]

Hi I have a pioneer A04 and A05. I have a 1.7 ghz with 1 gig of ram computer. The Pioneer A05 is attach to a external USB2 case and my A04 is installed into my computer. Can I use these two DVD burner to burn at the same time using Nero? But will be accessing file from different hard drives. The A05 will be burning file from my 120gig USB 2 external hard drive and my A04 will be burning files from my 80 gig internal 7200 rpm hard drive. Will I get any conflict if this is done? Has anyone try this or something similar?

that should work just fine

Assuming you can have 2 copies of Nero or whatever running at the same time....

Yes I will be running two copies of Nero.

Is it possible to run 2 copies of nero at the same time?

YOU SOUND LIKE A PIRATE...i dont think 1700mhz is enough
power to run 2 burners anyway, ur system would probably just
lock up anyway, u could always rip with one, maybe burn with
other, not sure though, does that much ram really help anyway?
what kind is it?ddr rd or sdram?o/s still 98?,how bought those
harddrives? got 2 or just one?got a raid array?maybe you could
maybe not, why ask us=,just do it and let us know...

I don't think burning DVD is CPU-intensitve job. I think it's fine. Why don't you just try? You can use the simulation in Nero so you don't need to waste black dvd-r. Doing is better than thinking.

Never tried it, throughput may be a problem.

As suggested, test with simulation but actual burning will be the real test.

You're doing something unique enough that the answer may well depend on multiple BIOS versions and revisions, not enough (zero) track record to give you an educated guess other than no real reason it SHOULDN'T work.

Something as minor as having the two USB devices on the same port, or the other way around, could be a factor.

I think that the Prassi software directly supports multiple drives.
