I'm looking for RECOMMENDATIONS for an autoload DVD burner that can 
hold at least 100 Blank DVDs in its input tray and at least 100 
burned DVDs in its output tray for use on a Windows XP PC.

I'd expect this to be a fairly common need but I'm finding that sales 
people can't give me a "Yes, our solution will work" or "No, our 
solution won't work" answer, which is very frustrating.

Maybe some of the HP 3000 vendors who also work in the PC market 
place know of some (or have) some solutions.  My budget is limited.

Requirements:

1)  Make backup DVDs from a PC with approximately 6.4 TB of data 
(approximately 11.3 million files varying from 1 Kb to 220 MB in 
size) without having to manually change DVDs as each disc completes 
(desired: operator required only when a stack of 100 DVDs needs to be 
removed from the output tray and 100 more blanks added to the input tray).

2)  Software that will work with the above drive and wait for the 
operator to unload burned DVDs and load more blank DVDs.

3)  The software should allow the specification of an input file 
containing a list of fully-qualified (full path and file name and 
extension) file names as the set of files to be burned.

4)  The software should burn the DVD as Data DVDs which are directly 
readable by Windows XP and/or Vista without any special utilities needed.

The reason for requirement 3 is that I need to be able to select 
files based upon criteria that is very unlikely to be a feature of 
any standard backup software (like basing the selection on the EXIF 
Image Capture Date/Time of an image file).

Any recommendations?

I'm providing press photo coverage of a convention this weekend so 
I'll be mainly checking email at off hours (2 AM after the concert 
and 9 AM before the first event of the new day begins)

Thanks for your help!

John
