Hey, this is not the first time i've done burning, or using images. I did run across an odd issue this time. I downloaded a torrent of a direct ISO of the game command and conquer. However, the iso downloaded was aprox. 5gigs. Anyone see the problem? No CD is going to hold five gigs! I've already tried compressing with Nero, which saved me little to none. I've already mounted a virtual drive and ran the image through there to install. The problem now, is in order to play the game, the game insists that i insert the disk into my literal mounted drive (which would means, virtual drives won't work). This normally wouldn't be a problem, since i could just mount the image onto a disk, and insert it, but the file size is too big! Obviously, the file must have been decompressed before the torrent was uploaded. Does anyone know of what i can do to compress this file enough to mount it on a disk?

-Thanks

Burn the image to a dual layer disk, games are not able to be compressed.

Meaning front and back right? See, if you read what i was saying, it'd be playing a game off of this disk. Obviously it wouldn't do me any good to be playing half the disk, ie, half the game.

Ah, gotcha. See that would make sense. Would you possibly have a link or location where i could get my hands on one at? Also, do you think it should work without flaw?

Hi, my friend buys his at meritline or supermediastore (just google them)

Verbatim 2.4x dl dvd+R work best.
