DVD-R Recorders...???

Does anyone have any info on possibly building a "standalone" DVD-R Duplicator setup ?

I am making DVD-R Masters on a Pioneer DVR-7000 unit, and am looking at a way to dupe them faster than making them one at a time on the standalone recorder...Or, if someone can give info on a really plain computer based system with the Pioneer recorders that I could use for this purpose only....Will the discs I record on the Pioneer DVR-7000 be able to duplicate in these setups ? I see these standalone units offered, but the price is way up there ! I would be happy for a DVD Playback unit and 2 slaves really ???

Thanks for any of the info, as I am new in this venture !!!

Don't take any offense if I am wrong, but you sound like a big pirater to me. If you are, don't come asking questions around here.
 
Misunderstanding here - I know these units will not duplicate copyrighted movies --- that is a fact...I am looking for a way to duplicate "Wedding" footage shot by my Father's Company in a less time consuming manner...He provides video dupes of the weddings and is getting a lot of questions about dvd's now...
 
Using Nero or Recordnow Max you can burn to multiple DVD drives in a PC. A few Pioneer DVRA03 or A04's and you're good to go.

The easiest way, that I can think of, would be to copy the data from the master DVD to your HD. I am not sure how well multiple DVD-R drives would handle trying to read from one DVD-ROM. Using one DVD-ROM for each DVD-R doesn't make sense either; especially on an IDE system. You'd need an IDE expansion card probably.

Any somewhat recent system should be able to handle this. Recordnow max system requirement is a Pentium 200 for burning, but I would be more concerned about HD performance.
 
THANKS !

I just heard from a Company called "Essential Data", and he says there standalones will work perfectly for my situation - so that is good too !!!
 
Looks like those units run over $2,000... Ouch. And, they use the Pioneer A03/103's.

You can get the Pioneer DVR104's (same drive as retail A04 pkg) for $339 each at hypermicro if you wanted to go the PC route. You can use one drive to read the master and copy to the HD then burn on all...

Good luck.
