I bought a pc game from Game.co.uk's instant download games section. I would like to backup this game to DVD incase something goes wrong.
I have made an ISO file but that is 7GB and i need to shrink it to 4.7GB. I have DVD shrink but when i try to open the ISO file it says; "Invalid UDF Filesystem"

Please help

Thanks in advance

You will have to burn it to a DL disc. Use only Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) made in Singapore and burn at 2.4x with ImgBurn.

Games are not like movies. You cannot shrink them. They have to remain the same size to work.

Here's a possible solution.
Use Winrar to convert the ISO to small RAR files.
Then copy half the RARs to one DVD and the other half to a second DVD.

No need for DVD DL. Of course, this "backup" cannot be run directly,
but one from which the original files can be recreated if need be.
