    I have 2 dvd writers on my pc, One slave & one master, I have Dvd shrink dvd decrypter Nero 6 & stomp On my pc, I do do a lot of camcorder work, And also sometimes back up my dvd collection for personal use, I obviously can copy from one to the other, What i want to know is, If i copy dvd back up on to my hard drive, Is there a way of copying to both writers at the same time, Most of the dvd writer soft ware i have gives you only one choice, Can anyone advise Thanks

    If you connect one of the drives to the same ide lead as your hard drive and the other to your second ide lead you should not have a problem.you can then set nero off on one job and open up again and start it off on another job.This is possible as i have tried this myself.However for best results i only stick to the one drive.Also another thing to take in to count you need quite alot of memory on your pc and your pc will slow right down while you are doing this.

    Just to let you know since i last posted i have now also got 2 dvd writers hooked up to the same ide port.
    I tried what you asked with nero and this worked fine.
