I don't advise it. I don't think any one program would let you run two instances. of any session burning at the same, however you mighht be able to pull it off using two separate programs independently.

Yes, they can, because two disc (DVD-RW) drives accessing the Hard Drive at the same time is possible, but it will make your computer slower.
If you cannot stand the speed, like if you require using both at the same time, all the time, then you can upgrade your RAM.
RAM is what is used to retrieve information from your hard drive much quicker, so you don't get the information being sent to your hard drive via your motherboard cables, and this takes much more time.
This is possible by going to http://www.crucial.com , and selecting System Scan. This scans your computer for which type of RAM you need.
RAM speeds up your computer, as it enables faster retrieval of data from your hard drive, allowing you to send two pieces of information to the DVD -RW drives (even if they are completely different things) much faster.
Hope this helps, Leigh.

Yes it is completely possible and easiest to do with two different burning programs. WIth a good processor and enough RAM it can be pulled of. I have 3 DVD drives and for example can watch, burn and install all at the same time without any dramas. Everything is possible in a perfect world, and then there's WIndows. ;)
Good luck!

both the driving force, the lenses are dirty (you've burned countless disks, have you ever run a DVD purifier disk by it?) or something interior thecontinual electronics went undesirable. First sparkling thecontinual - you should target this each 20 hours of studying+writing besides.

dont think so, unless your 2 diffrent drives, are SATA and not IDE. it takes a lot of processing power to keep it all stable. and you could probably do it if you had 2 diffrent writing programs running at the same time recording to the 2 diffrent places.

There's no reason why this couldnt be done. It wouldnt be an ideal situation, two burners accessing the HDD at the same time, but it's do-able
