mmalves Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 you can use DVDFab Platinum to split it to 2 DVD-Rs. 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...

polopony Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
