Re: burning and encoding at the same time?

Not recommended unless you have a fairly high performance system. Transcoding is very CPU intensive and even though burning can usually be handled no sweat by a modern system, you might run up against buffer underruns. It just doesnt seem worth saving 15 minutes to me.

Re: burning and encoding at the same time?

it is unadvisable as it may cause a crasha and wreck the blank media... or worse your drive. i once triend to use both cd-writers simaltaniosly, it made a costered copy in both drives. mult-tasking without ht is not reccomended.

i could do that already with my athlon xp 2100+...just don't have the burning speeds to high

but transcoding takes a bit more cpu power then just burning to 2 cd's
