The best burning software that handles multiple USB buners?

#1 Post by teetee » Wed Apr 16, 2008 7:28 am

We got a USB multiple DVD burner device for a small office which has four DVD burners connecting to the computer with one USB cable. The bundle software that came with the device is called "Droppix" and from what I can see it's very difficult to use(not user friendly, doesn't have good progress indicator bar, very illogical workflow design). As matter of fact it's so hard to do a simple 1 to 4 CD copy that I've decided to try out other burning software out there.

I tried Nero 6.6.1.4 but it doesn't seem to handle USB multiple device well. It only recognizes one disk out of four when I click on "Disc Info". If I insert four blank discs into the device all at once, the software won't recognize any of them(showing "disc is not inserted" message instead of "The disc is empty")

Is there any recommended software that supports USB multiple burner device and has a better (or easier) user interface? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hello, I am not sure if this will work with your multiple drives, but it is free so you can give it a try. This is very easy to work with and fast, has nice user options.

This is my new favorite CD burning utility. NO CRAPWARE. It has become impossible to find a simple CD/DVD burning program that doesn't come with 3GB of crap on top of it.

Finalburner free version is a good option too.

ImgBurn is what I use. It's donationware (if you like it enough and feel moved - I donated), but it's easy to use and fast. On my Vista PC, it's the only burner program I've found that can hit 16x using my external Sony and even about 12x on the cheapie internal LiteOn.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Unfortunately among all the software I've tried so far, none of them handles USB external multiburners as well as droppix recorder software. I guess I have no choice but keep using it.

It's almost as if the droppix software comes with driver specifically for the USB external multiburner to allow it to do DVD recording on all four burners at the same time. Most other software I tried recognize all four burners but can only process (reads/writes) one of them(the first one) and just throw me an "device empty" message for the rest of the three.
