Hi everyone !

My old school's 100 birthday will be in next month. There would be a
big bash and we have already produced a documentary of our school, we
also would like to burn some 2000 DVDs to give out to the participants
of the birthday celebration.

Since this is an in-house production, we would want to do everything
ourselves. However, burning 2000 discs is not exactly fun. So I am
trying to find a way to speed up the task.

In our office, we have 8 machines that we can use to burn the DVDs,
all of them are Pentium D 925 machine (3GHz, dual core, 2MB of cache,
3GB of RAM each) and we have a total of 32 DVD burners, all running
XP.

My experiment so far is that if I use Nero to do the burning, I can
only run the maximum of 3 DVD burners per machine concurrently,
because if I put 4 DVD burners there, XP crashes.

The hardware can handle much more than the 3 DVD burners per machine,
but apparently if I run more than 3 instances of Nero on XP, things
get really ugly.

We have the ISO file for the DVD, and my question to you is - Can
anyone please tell me if there's any other DVD burning software that I
can use to burn the DVD ?

In other words, I am looking for a DVD burning software that is much
smaller and lighter than Nero. Is there such a thing ?

I do know about the option of letting the pros doing the DVD burning,
but since we already have the hardware, I like to look for the right
software that can do the job.

Would appreciate very much for any of your ideas / suggestions.

If you can suggest a freeware, or not so costly alternative, even
better.

Thank you all !

I don't know how large Nero is (it's been years) and I've only burned
one-off images. I can recommend some pretty small freeware iso burners
though:

Isoburn <http://isoburn.sourceforge.net/>. Dead simple. Works as
advertised with 2 caveats: it requires .NET 2.0 and (more disconcerting
from a security standpoint) admin privileges.

ImgBurn <http://www.imgburn.com/>. Easy to get the basics going but
also has a fine granularity of control available for those who want to
drill down.

OK. Understood. I don't want to try to reopen a closed case here but,
make sure you've considered these advantages of "letting the pros" do it:

-time: really, you've /more important things to do/ for the 100th Bday
-money: after media costs & labeling, they'll still do it more cheaply
-quality: commercial burners burn better & labelers label prettier.

But, it's your party!

best,

Thanks, interesting ...
I've been using CDBurnerXP Pro for a couple of months and like it enough
not to bother trying anything else.

Can CDBurnerXP Pro burn DL DVDs? The description doesn't mention it.

Thanks for that!
I've only burned CDs with it, so hadn't a clue about the answer. :-)
