I have two disc drives that I use for burning DVDs. My question is can I run two separate instances of HB so I can be burning two DVDs at once? Currently I have to alternate drives when the other drive is finished.
If this is possible it should save some time encoding large libraries!
Thanks!
Two drives, two separate instances of HB possible?

Re: Two drives, two separate instances of HB possible?
With the CLI it is, but you have to have a pretty fast computer, or one with a stupid amount of cores for it to make any difference. I have a 6 core 3.2 GHz Mac Pro tower and a i7 iMac. The only time its ever worth it to run more then one instance is when encoding Blu-Rays on the Mac Pro tower, and even then its not that much of an over all speed boost since one encode takes up a good bit more then half my cores on average anyway. Its even more pronounced with normal DVDs its just better to que things up and let them rip.
