Copy a DVD through a network?

Question

I have nero 7 on my desktop that has one DVD writer. I want to copy a DVD and realized that using a single DVD drive to make a disk image on the hard disk then copy that to a blank DVD will take ages.

I also have a laptop with a DVD writer.

If I connect the laptop and the ddesktop through a network. Can I get nero 7 to read from the laptop drive and copy to the desktop drive? Both computers are running Windows XP.

Answer 1

Well NERO wouldn't recognise it as a actual source DVD drive

but yes, sharing the drive would cause the volume to be accessible from the laptop,

note that copying this way, if the DVD has copy-protection, would probably trigger off the copy protection

IF you are backing up a retail movie / retail game with copy-protection,
it is better to do all the processes on ONE computer,
e.g -Dual-Layered Movie to be re-encoded to fit into a 4.7gig single layer- (the time it takes to copy the files to harddrive compared to the re-encoding is negligible)

Answer 3

Yes, you are basically doing a mini torrent. I have no idea of the legalities involved or what material is being copied, (that is the plausible deniable) But it works on Linux it should on anything.
