[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 463821, member: 753"] A final note for anyone that trys this in the future. I saved the disc image for copying on the hard drive, saves a lot of time over doing a disc copy and recreating the image. I also ran a second burner hooked up to a usb port and the nero burn software allows for multiple burners and using two cuts your time in half. In contrast to a time reduction, my burners actually perform better (less errors or failed disc) at 4X or 6X, not the max 8X so I save a little time burning two and add some back with slower burn speeds. I have burned 45 out of a 50 pack successfully, five were lost to experimentation (also known as ignorance). I have ordered another spindle of blanks to complete the job. Running two isn't too bad, if I ever do a job this large again I may invest in a duplicating machine where you can burn up to 7 at a time., they run $250-350 for a setup that will burn Dual Layer. Blue-ray is another option but that will limit compatibility to just those that own Blue-ray players, probably the norm in the near future. I also checked on duplicating services, they run about $2 each for dual layer. Anyway if anyone ever needs help burning large dvd's give me a shout if I can be of help. [/QUOTE]
