Multiple dvd burners recording at once

I have alot of dvds to burn for my car club. I have a pc with 4 burners but If i try to use all 4 the burners slow down and take more then 1 hour per dvd. If I do ine at a time its 5 minutes per dvd. I use nero express and I open it 4 times. SOmeone told me that it's because i'm using the same program multiple times. What program can I use to burn 4 at a time with out it slowing down ??

 

If there was one, it's a good software and will give everybody a help. I get strong curiosity that hope someone could give us a sign.

 

You need more computer horsepower. If this is your primary application your system needs to be specially designed to do this.

Think about what you're trying to do. You probably have a single hard drive and you're trying to force 4 data streams down a single pipe.

Of course it's going to be slower.

You're also sharing all of the processor/writing streams through a single CPU.

I'd be willing to bet that you're also running at least one of your writers externally, which is yet ANOTHER bottleneck.

Since you didn't provide ANY details on what kind of hardware/software that you are using to accomplish this it's really hard to tell but my first guess is your hardware and software (OS) are not up to the task.

CPU type?
Operating system
Number of hard drives, capacity, speed, interface
Burner types, interface, speed.

In short, IMHO it's not the application software.

 

Try ImgBurn, it is not a memory hog like Nero and others.

 

Imgburn will not resolve the issue of serving multiple data streams from a single source.

 

The bottleneck is the cables and the data streams.. the only way to really burn 4 or 8 or 128 at once is to build dedicated hardware each with it's own image in ram or locally it's own cpu and dumped to it's own burner.. Similar to a cluster really.. only people who want to burn 4+ at once are commercial pirates.. so find one and ask them how they burn 100 at once.. and they will tell you to use google.. before they take you round the back and dispose of you XD

Burning different things using multiple burning apps is a pretty well regarded way to make coasters. Makes great coasters as everything hangs waiting for the data to catch up with the burners... unless you burn in PIO mode at 0.1x.. and you might as well just burn one after another as do that.

 

now thats not true.....LMAO i tried 4 at once just to see if it can be done.. nothing like a good challenge...lmao

this is my thing here..lol
are you trying to burn multiple copys of the same thing at once? or trying to burn4 different things at once. if its just4 copies of the same img/iso thats easy. instead of trying to explain it here is a link to another thread that a good friend of mine did up a nice little tut on how to do such process.

now if your trying to burn 4 different dvds it is harder but can be done.

first thing what type of cpu and mem do you have?
second do you have 4 hdd's?
third do you have 4 different burning programs.

here we go. if you have 4 different programs and 4 different hdds.
store 1 movie on each hdd.second open up each one of the differnet burning programs. then on each program chose a movie from a different hdd then start burning. your pulling from a different hdd on each so thats not gonna slow you down to much there... here is where hte CPU comes into play. if you dont have a C2D or C2Q your gonna struggle doing it this way.
i had a E8400 oc'd to 3.6ghz it would let me do 3 dvd's this way and take about 20mins but a 4th movie would slow way down. now i have Q9550 quad. i havent tried yet but im sure i can do it with ease now.

hopes this help. if ya got any questions send me a pm and i will try and help some more if i can.

 

You are having a similar problem as what I am experiencing. I can tell you one thing though, you need to stop using the OEM version of Nero, and step it up to the ultra edition. That will allow you to burn multiple discs with only one instance of Nero running, instead of having to open Nero four times. I have built plenty of 4-burner computers and never had a problem until the one I just did today.

I am going to copy and paste from another thread I started, to see if anybody knows anything about this:

So, from what i'm reading, the software is all that matters?

 

???Are we reading the same thread??? I see it needing fast (or multiple) hardrive(s) and a fairly fast processor, preferably multi threaded. Good software is needed too.

 

its a mixture of all of the above. im useing nero 6.6.0.18. have been for the past 3 years it does everything ineed and then some. haven the faster CPU and multiple hdd is just the way i found to do 3-4 different movies at one. but if i want to make 4 copies of the same movie nero burning rom is the zip for it.

 

I have an
Intel dg45id board
Intel core 2 quad
Q9400 @2.66
I have 4 gb of ram but it only shows 2.96
4 samsung dl burners.

I started to burn my own car show dvds. not pirate copies of movies.
I'm heavy into the automotive world.. Just trying to make things move faster. I had 2 burners at first. I would do 2 at a time. One would burn in 5 minutes. The other in 30. When I went to 4 burners. 2 would burn in 5 mimutes and the other 2 at 30 minutes..

 

Which nero program do you use ? I use express essentials

 

I use nero ultra 6. I also have version 7. neither works. the burners are sata
