Hello!

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT TRYING TO MAKE TWO BACKUPS NOR A BACKUP OF A BACKUP! I AM JUST TRYING TO BURN TWO FILES AT THE SAME TIME WITH MY TWO BURNERS!!

I just bought myself a new burner to be able to burn multiple backups at the same time.

So I opened up two instances of ImgBurn and choose the right burner for the right instance. I also choose two different files from two different harddrives and started the burnprocess.

Both buffers went from 0% to 100% on drive1 while drive2 went from 100% to 0% and vice versa every two seconds. Max burningspeed got up to 1.5x on each drive (so 3.0x total) while both burners support 16x and the both discs support 8x.

Both burners are on the same IDE-cable, but that shouldn't be a problem, since a friend of mine has the same setup (though different burners) and it works fine for him.

So this is my setup:

Burner1 burns file1 from hdd1. Burner2 burns file2 from hdd2. Both burners are on the same IDE-cable. The hdds are on different sata-ports. Burner1 (master) is a Pioneer 111D (flashed to 111L with the latest Dangerous Brothers fw). Burner2 is a Samsung SH-S182D.

I also only have ONE IDE-port on my mobo, so another cable is not an option. Both burners are set to Ultra DMA. Pioneer is Master and Samsung is Slave.

My computer specs is this: AMD 4600+ X2, 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300, 2x250GB Samsung Spinpoint HDDs. The rest isn't of relevance.

Please note that it is two DIFFERENT files I've been trying to burn, not two instances of the same file nor the same backup, original or anything else you can come up with! I'm just trying to burn two files at the same time.

Thanks in advance!

basically you should have no reason to burn multiple backups at the same time.

Why wouldn't I? It doesn't matter if it's an Xbox 360 backup, a movie- or PC game backup. It can (and is too) also be a homemade video that I want to write to two discs at the same time. It doesn't matter what will be written, it's the problem I want to get a solution for!
