More than 1 dvdr

[maureen]

I have never thought about it before but somebody asked the other day if its possible to burn to more than one dvdr at a time.I said that i wasnt sure on the hardware side of things but i dont think ive seen any software that could burn to more than one source and the same time.Perhaps if a raid motherboard or card were installed it could be possible.Can anybody shed any light on wether its possible or not and what software is capable of this.
Thanks in advance.

available for £180, plus you have to fit drives. you can also pop a HDD in there for storing images if you need lots of copies of something!

I havnt tried it but i think nero can do it

Indeed Nero will burn to multiple drives. They don't even need to be the same model, but the speeds will all be set to the slowest one you select. I use FireWire enclosures for 4 of my 5 burners and have burned to all 5 successfully at 1x (I don't bother with anything faster since I have 5 of them).

Thanks for the help.Could you explain Rallynavvie how you manage to get 5 burners into one pc?.Dont they all have to be on seperate ide cables?.

Heh, thanks CT

I highly suggest investing in FireWire enclosures for optical drives, they're just so darn handy not having to hastle with just two devices per channel. What's FireWireA, 15 devices? Don't waste your money on prebuilt FireWire drives, they're generally 30-50% more expensive than just putting them together yourself.

I thought firewire was 255 devices.
