How to burn DVD to multiple drives?

If you start those in parallel, the system will just be reading the second and later copies straight from the buffer cache; no I/O involved, surely...? That's the hope. But what if one burner takes 10 seconds longer to initialise? How big's the drive read cache? I can't test lacking multiple

On a decently designed OS, there is no waste of IO bandwidth as the OS will cache the data that has already been read. Obviously yes, but as most(?) of us run an indecently designed OS, we prefer to have a plan B in store. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with
