Possible to burn 2 separate discs at one time?

#1

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!

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.

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.

Ideally you want the drives with the same model and firmware version,
but all Nero requires is there should be common write speed.

Please turn the volume down on the venom. Mike's answer seemed perfectly helpful
to me. Most people for home use aren't going to need to burn 2 copies of the
same disc at once, so Mike & I both assumed Paul wanted to run 2 *different*
burns at once.

a lot of rant snipped

I really couldn't care less about your vendetta against the man. Please take it
somewhere else, as these 3 groups are about CDR and/or Macs.

Please consider posting a complaint to Radori; ignoring a problem seldom
leads to resolution. You may feel free to copy the one I posted, or
compose your own. Note the second addy; Radori's owner is reviewing
complaints personally. Let's make sure she has plenty to review...

If you have multiple burners and running OS X then you can do both
multi-burning and multi-copy. You can download a trial of Dragon Burn
@ www.ntius.com.
