I've got 3 optical drives on my windows computer. Was wondering if there was a way to run more than 1 instance of AnyDVD so I can rip more than one DVD at a time.

One instance is all that is needed.

As for ripping more than one DVD at a time, theoretically you could simultaneously use the AnyDVD ripper for one disc, CloneDVD for another disc and DVD Shrink for yet another disc. This would be a very unwise decision, IMHO. Ripping one disc at a time is the best way and it really doesn't take that long. Adding in support for ripping multiple discs at the same time with the AnyDVD ripper is something that will likely never happen.
 
I believe it's only legal to run one instance of AnyDVD at one time if you only have one license. Two licenses, 2 instances.

That refers to installations on multiple computers. The OP wants to run multiple instances of the software on the same computer. As it is they don't need to run multiple instances, anyway. It does appear that they want to use the AnyDVD ripper on more than one disc at a time which can't be done with the software.

They would not be doing anything against the license agreement if they did as I said in my previous post. It would just be a bad idea to do it, IMHO.

That doesn't really make sense if they are on the same computer anyways. Even if you had two licenses. You could never get two of the applications running at the same time, I think.

Edit: Drink beat me too it.
 
If you're really intent on doing multiple discs at the same time you could always do them from command line with the copy command. E.G. using robocopy(hey, it's what I use for network copies so I know the syntax off the top of my head) :

-robocopy d:/ c:/Disc1/ *.*
-robocopy e:/ c:/Disc2/ *.*
-robocopy f:/ c:/Disc3/ *.*

etc. Is this a good idea? Meh. As long as your system can handle it, it's not a big deal. No different than any other file copy operations.

Not yet. Next AnyDVD version will allow to run multiple instances of AnyDVD ripper.

Hopefully he'll point me in that direction because I don't ever remember seeing that. :eek:

Now I just look like a dumba**. :p

Unfortunately, I only tend to (selfishly) pay attention to things that interest me. Running multiple instances of Anydvd ripper is not one of those things, so I don't seem to recall that conversation (however, the odds are I probably participated in the discussion given my post count). But if James said he announced something it must be true, and I'm sure some people will find that feature useful.

This is just another instance of James improving Anydvd. :clap:

My brain tends to work the same way.

I don't doubt he said it if he says he did. :) I just don't recall ever reading it anywhere and I can't find it using the search feature. I was just curious to read what else was included in the discussion at the time.

Yes. :)
 
REMEMBER!!! If you are ripping 2 DVD's at the same time - it outta be to 2 different PHYSICAL hard drives. Ripping 2 disks to the same drive causes undue drive wear, and ripping 2 disks to 2 different partitions on the same drive is worse wear and tear. Further, you don't get much speed boost ripping 2 to one drive - you just beat up the poor drive.
