Multiple DVD Recorders with Nero

[mharms]

I think that this is the closest forum to the problem that I'm having. What I'm trying to do is make copies of homemade DVD's that I have 2 at a time using Nero's multiple recorder option.

I have 2 DVD burners in my computer and both are working properly. I can choose which one has the source and which one has the target media and alternate between them but I can't pick both burner drives at the same time.

I purchased V5.5.6.9 of Nero and upgraded to version 5.5.10.0 via the web update and the option to burn to multiple recorders never even appears for me.

If anyone knows what I need to do to get this to work I'd be very grateful, Let me know if you want more info - Thanks!

i burn 2 or 4 at a time using prassi (pioneer 104 and 105's) w/ no problems ..

didnt even know nero could do that .. but it works with prassi .. i burn always w/a image file ...

[mharms]

Thanks for the tip. Where can I go to check out PrimoDVD or to buy it (it seems as though they are Sonic now).

If you want to see the picture of nero's new capabilities go to http://www.nero.com/en/content/image.html#500cd-copy.gif.

If someone knows Nero and can help me out I'd still like to try to get that to work, Thanks!

Sorry that last link doesn't work too well - try this one (http://www.nero.com/en/#c1002822736769) and scroll down to CD Copy...

[mharms]

Pardon the newbie - this one should be clickable - http://www.nero.com/en/#c1002822736769.

prassi is now record now max i guess -- maybe not .... who knows ....

anyway its still avalaible here (30 day demo) http://www.stompinc.com/recordnowmax/rnmx-retail.phtml?stp

[BJ_M]

i understand that some people still prefer the original prassi (like me) -- i got it from esbuys - maybe they still have copies ..

Does "burn to multiple recorders" appear for CDRs? If so, it must be a DVD specific limitation. If not, it's probably a limitation of your OEM version of Nero. If THIS is the case, post back.

[mharms]

Yeah,

it doesn't show up for CD copies OR DVD copies...

[BJ_M]

funny -- its in their picture .. but it also says for cd/r's - doesnt mention dvd's

Wow! I don't know where you get this information but you're good! At that price I'll be very sure to check out the RecordNow - Hopefully that one will work for 2 recorders...

[mharms]

I was checking out nero webpage some more and I found what you are talking about with the 7 and 32 recorders but I'm going to keep saying that in the full (non0demo) version of the software it says that it can make 2 simultaneous copies at once

Simultaneous Recording to 2 CD or DVD drives

from http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#c1002820773269 (that probably won't work so you can cut and paste this (http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#c1002820773269)

what do you think?

[mharms]

sorry - i suck at all those automatic quote and link things...

[BJ_M]

yes it does say full version supports 2 recorders -- but it seems its not working ...


what? a feature in a software program not working ? can not be !!!

[mharms]

lol! thanks for all your help...

[dcsos]

RECORD NOW MAX will write to 2 recorders at once.
Go to the Advanced Options tab in both Record Now and Prassi to enable drives with differing characteristics. Do a test first

[mharms]

For those reading this later on and wanting to know the answer - it is that I did not have a serial number for the full version - that is what I needed to get - it works with that...

Got this little quote from www.nero.com

6. Does Nero Support writing to more than one recorder at a time?

Yes. For how to use this feature in Nero refer to this link to a step by step PDF file: http://www.nero.com/en/index.html#c1034060180057 With OEM versions you can only write to one recorder. With Nero Demo and Retail versions, you can write to two recorders. For additional recorder support you must purchase an upgrade to a new Serial Key to support additional drives. Cost of the upgrade is listed below: Multiple Recorder Support

1. Nero support max. 7 recorders simultaneous price 249,00 USD
2. Nero support unlimited recorders simultaneous price 499,00 USD

Note: We have test 24 recorders simultaneously to date, and simply have not had the system to test more.)
