Hi all. Anyone give me a lead on what software does burns to multiple drives, and where I can locate it. I know that there is a plugin for Nero that does it but am unable to locate it, any ideas where to obtain the plugin or what other software may work I am using pioneer A04 burners, need it to run about 4 - 7 burners.
Thanx in advance...

Nero shouldn't need plugin, I'm using version 5.599(had trouble with 5.5914) and that has multiple recorder option. And has had for some time.

hier are some tips::D :D

Here are a few things you should consider before you start using multiple CD burners:

* You need a computer that can handle the data processing. We used fast Pentium III processors, a lot of RAM, and hard drives with good speed. If you're thinking of connecting multiple burners to an older system -- say, a 600-MHz PIII with 64MB of RAM and a 5400 rpm hard drive -- think again.

* RAM is your friend. If you are considering getting into multiple burners, buy more RAM.

* Make sure nonessential software does not load at startup. Load only the software you need to burn. I would recommend using either msconfig (win98) or mlin.net's startup control panel (win2000) to minimize your startup.

* If you plan to use many CD-RW drives, go with a SCSI system. Not only can you connect more drives (seven to 15 off a single PCI SCSI card), but SCSI handles multiple read and write functions a lot better. Most motherboards have two IDE channels, and each channel can have two drives. Considering that your hard drive and CD-ROM are on IDE, that leaves room for two burners. Some motherboards have more than two IDE channels onboard, but in general if you want to connect more than two burners, you'll have to buy a PCI IDE controller card. Other specifications of our IDE machine

I'll try and cover most points in one message. According to the Ahead (Nero) site. there is a plugin for Multiple drive support, thats where I based my orginal question on. The system that I plan to use (its already built) it a P4 - 2.4 533fsb running 1 Gig DDR ram (PC2100). The only software on the system will be the OS (WinXP Pro) and whatever burner software I can get to work, I already have 4 Pioneer DVD A04 drives and an 80 Gig 7200 RPM Western Digital HDD with 8 Meg Cache. I also have an ATA100 IDE controller card that allows for the 4 Burners. I dont plan to go pirating I am trying to get a small business venture off the ground. My future plans if I can get it all happening is to run 9 burners... Dont like my chances but worth a try... Any more suggestions gladly welcome...

consider this

Better late then never :)

zenpsx no matter what you're intentions are you should check what Acard can do for you (h**p://www.acard.com) 'cause they are in scsi and scsi to ide business. You won't find many scsi dvd burners these days 'cause they have a hell of a price tag. Consider CONVERTING your pioneers easily for a fraction of a full price.

OK guys... I have it working using Acohol with (wait for it) 10 Pioneers A04. I will be taking some pics of it shortly and will attach them to a message for anyone thats interested in having a look at it. The burns take approx (using the 10 drives) 1 hour and 40 mins. if I use 8 the burn time comes down by 15 mins. The whole thing works without a problem. So far have test burnt 98 DVD disc's and no failures. It is an awesome sight watching all the drives eject one after the other. Will post again shortly with pics. Thanx for ya help/advice....:D
