i do not have a dual layer-dvd drive... :(

hope someone can help me please... :lol:

For archiving purposes, you could use WinRAR/7-Zip/others to compress the ISO and set the program to split volumes at 4.700.000.000 bytes.

Now, if it's DVD-Video and you want it to be playable on standard DVD players, you can use DVDFab Platinum to split it to 2 DVD-Rs.

 

Don't you have a friend with a dual-layer capable burner? If it's external, just hook it up to your computer and burn the ISO to Verbatim DVD+R DL media. If it's internal, use the archival method I mentioned above and take the ISO onto 2 DVD?R(W)s to your friends computer. In any way, please do use Verbatim DVD+R DL media, it's the only good dual-layer media to be used.

just to add another option , you can also use dvd shrink and follow this guide http://www.dvdshrink.info/splitting-v2-3.php

 

but this bit makes me a bit worried

i just downloaded
as we don't support piracy , it could of course be completely legal...

 

 

i assure you its legal hehe :teehee:

 

btw, for the guide, it does not teach me anything about iso files... i have a iso file. how to i change it to .vob/.ifo (video ts folder) files???? hope some one can help :rolleyes:

if you intend to use IMGburn then you need ISO files that what it burns . To read an ISO file download Daemon Tools, open IMGburn , Read Mode select the virtual drive as the source (daemon Tools ) and hit the big button

Why not use the instructions of the service you downloaded the ISO from? Afterall, a legal service would provide instructions on how do deal with the file, wouldn't it?

I would have thought so too Shamus :) Besides enough options have been given above by the other members - this is definitely not an ImgBurn support issue as far as I can tell. :/

hi, what about dvd decrptoer? can i use it to read the iso file? do you mean i have to extract the iso file to video_ts type of files before processing with imgburn to split it up? :mellow:
