Can I use a DVD-RW on a xp network
From: "DJW"
I use a DVD-RW external drive on a xp network that is directly connected with a cross over cable, I only have one DVD player and want to be able to access it via the computer it is not directly connected too. Can I do this? You can access the DVD drive as a DVD data Read-Only NT Share. You can't use it over the network to play DVD Movies. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

You can't use it over the network to play DVD Movies. But aren't DVD movies just data? I thought some DVD-playing software (PowerDVD maybe?) would play a DVD set of files, wherever it finds them. -- J. P. Gilliver.

Nope, DVD data Read-Only, You can't play DVD movies because there is no protocol for DVD Player over Ethernet. To share the drive you just get a UNC NT Share in the form of \\server\share_name and you can't write to it because the CDFS protocol has no networrking protocol. Therefore you can only share a DVD drive as data in a Read-Only format. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

Map the network DVD-RW Drive as W:\ then you can use with DLA Introduction Drive Letter Access (DLA) is an invaluable utility that lets you drag-and-drop files from your hard drive to your CD or DVD recorder as easily as you would to a floppy disk. DLA makes it simple to format discs and save files. And when you're ready, DLA's Make Compatible feature lets you share your discs with just about anyone. To use DLA with your recorder drive: 1.In My Computer, right-click your recorder drive. Notice that the popup menu contains DLA features, such as Format, Use with DLA, and Make Compatible. The features available will depend on the type of recorder drive you have. A special DLA tab has also been added to the drive's Properties dialog. 1.Click Use with DLA. If a check mark already appears next to the Use with DLA menu item, DLA is already enabled for that drive. Note: If you have more than one recorder drive, only one drive can be enabled for DLA at a time. Windows will now use DLA whenever you save data to your recorder drive. You are now ready to format a disc for use with DLA (see Formatting Your Disc). Adding Data to Your Disc Once DLA has formatted your disc, you can add files and folders to your recorder drive using one of the methods mentioned below: ..Drag and drop files directly to your recorder drive using Windows Explorer. ..Select Save As from most software applications and choose your recorder drive as the destination. ..Use the Send To command by right-clicking files and folders in My Computer or Windows Explorer and selecting DLA drive (drive letter). |

I wish you would use punctuation and capital letters like everyone else - it would be a lot easier to understand what you're trying to say. If I'm interpreting your words correctly, the answer is "yes". You can share the optical drive on one computer just like the hard disk, and its contents can be accessed from elsewhere on the network. |
