Topic: DVD Burning enmasse (Read 3089 times)

As part of a project I am managing we burn data CD-s of sales transactions (actually we pay a vendor to) and we've decided to bring that function back inhouse.

I'm thinking double-density data DVD's (will cut media to keep track of by a factor of 8 ) but we'd like to automate it as much as possible, and we'd like to build an index file. Has anyone worked with burning several DVD's at once? Any suggestions on hardware and even software that could index the files?

If I remember correctly from years ago, when I used to buy Computer Shopper every month, the equipment to take It in-house was pretty expensive. Let me look around and see what I can find.

They're paying close to $10,000 per month. It can't be THAT expensive to burn DVD's. I offered to sit in a room and burn them for $7,000, but my client wouldn't go for it...

I left a message with a friend on a tech board, he'll get back to me soon I'm sure. It seems and I could be way off here, that the Equipment was around 2k or so but I could be wrong.

What city is this guy located? I'll do it for 3500 a month net, plus materials (cost for hardware and blank media, and someone to tell me what the hell I'm supposed to do). Hell, I bought a brand new dual-layer Sony DVD burner last month that's only burned a couple music CDs. She's still practically a virgin. And damn, that just made me depressed. My burner is barely being used, and that's more use than I've gotten. I need a drink. *goes and hangs upside down over a pool of radioactive waste*

I think he's talking about a commercial burner which does aroun 50-100 dvd's at once.

Yeah.. we're talking about backing up terabytes of data.

Found another one, however It only does about 11 DVD's at a time.

We don't need to duplicate a bunch of the same, so much as have the burner write a large volume of data across several CD's, and self-change the CD's until it's done.

I believe Nebraska University was studying way to do this with optical media. You might sniff around their site. Kodak too as well as Phillips but I haven't followed that stuff since I sold Nevada Compact Disc back in the late 80s.
