split the work in two U160 drives

[sehh]

On my dual Athlon, i've got two IBM Ultrastar U160 LVD drives.

I'd like to split work between them, so
DVD2SVCD will read from one and write to
the other, and when one job is done, to
reverse the effect and read from the result
on the second drive and write to the
first drive.

Is this possible?

I understand its possible to choose
different paths on DVD2SVCD, but i don't
know if the programs will be able to find
all the data files splt between two
different locations.

Any help would be appriciate.

PS:
To explain what i need in a graphical
way, here it is:

DVD rips to -> HD1
HD1 decodes to -> HD2
HD2 encodes to -> HD1
HD1 makes .bin.cue to -> HD2

Thank you.

As long as the paths are clearly stated all the programs and data could be on 5 drives. It doesn't make much of a difference to DVD2SVCD. I have heard some saying that they see a slight speed increase by having the VOB's on one drive, the resulting data on another and the program on yet another drive. I have tried this I must say if there is a difference it was so slight I really didn't notice it.

I try to split my data in such a way that I don't do writes on the same disk that I am reading from. E.g. I don't put my VOBs on the same disk as my encoding, I don't mux and author to the same disk as the source for the process.

This means I end up with weird directories E.g. the VOB disk has the muxed files but th encode data is on a different disk as are the images.

I do this primarily to stop my disks being too badly thrashed but it certainly helps with the muxing and image creation speeds where there is heavy disk activity.
