Three DVD burners. Those and one hard drive will fully fill a standard ATX mobo with 2 IDE channels.

Nero had an option to use multiple recorders since a long time ago.

...and there is no need to make duplicate threads, even though they are about duplication!

THANKS MAN CAZ I WAS JUST LOOKING AT SOM dvd dUPLICATOR CONTROLLER PRICES

Also will this burn the single DVD original to 3 DVD blanks within 15 mins or less?

Yes it will burn 3 DVDs in 15 mins if your system is not a Pentium 3 or so .

Or you can just buy a DVD replicator/label printer, and just tell it how many copies you want, leave, come back, and it's all done... My school has one. Going to need to make 100+ copies of a DVD full of pictures from last year very soon...

Or just get the "Brain unit" as they also call it. or buy a complete tower with 11 DVD burners in it

Check it out!

EDIT: I think that gamehead200 is pointing at a thing like this.

Yeah, exactly that... But I've seen way cheaper ones...

I recently purchased a 1 to 3 dvd duplicator controller for my pc and now I can't seem to figure out how to connect my dvd+rw drives to the controller via ide cables and to the motherboard at the same time.I would like to use the drives as I would normally use them from my PC or Windows,but would also like to be able to use the duplcator when I need it.

...Any help out there?

Not posible, never saw that model before...

Remember guys that All these parts are all connected in 1 PC Case.

so here you have an all-in-one machine where u can use it as a standalone duplicator or as a PC combo duplicator and use these as external drives

A Controller - what it does is to support better readability on discs and lessen burn failures......

but wat i wud also would like to find out is a controller or some other addon that i can connect it to the PC and use these drives as internal drives.

Or to connect the controller directly to an IDE onto my motherboard and hav them interact as if a regular PC component

does anyone know of that or how to do it OR hav done this before???
