Burning an image to multiple DVD burners in Linux... is this possible?
9 replies, posted
I'm using Linux Mint 9 (Basically Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid). I have tried the Nero Linux 4, but there's no "Use multiple burners" checkbox like it's Windows counterpart.
I have also tried ImgBurn in Wine, and although the app runs flawlessly in WINE, there's no option in it either.
I have a stack of homemade Rodeos that i need to make two copies of each disc, and I have two DVD burners in this machine... I just need the software support to make it happen.
Can anyone recommend any applications that support burning to multiple drives at once?
Run them all at the same time.

Oh... you meean run two instances of Nero at once? That's a good idea... but I only have 768MB of RAM, will that affect the burns? I'm burning them at 4x...
No. Just your PC will run slow.
Okay. Also, one drive is USB 2.0 and the other is SATA. Both have the ability to go up to 18x, but I always burn at 4x to keep errors down. I'm hoping I don't oversaturate the I/O bus.
I am using two sessions of ImgBurn in CrossOver, and everything is burning great. The PC isn't sluggish at all, and it's a measly Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHz.

Have you tried K3B or Brasero? I don't know if they can do it, but they might.

Tried them first, and all other obvious methods. I'm a bit pissed that Nero Linux 4 still doesn't support multiple burners, as it's my main burning program for most things.

Not quite that easy for burning CD's.
I'm sure its possible to pipe from dd to cdrecord though.
