burning images larger than 4.5gb as data to DVD+R DL

[sirens]

Hi,

 

Long time reader, first time poster. I couldnt find anything on what i want to do. Pretty much the same as what the topis says. I want to burn images larger than 4.5gb as data to a dual layer disc. I normally do this with DVD-Rs then mount the image off the disc. Is this ok with DVD+R DL discs?

 

Before i start wasting verbs trying myself, I thought Id see if anyone has done this. Does the dual layer effect the image because its burnt as data? Anything i should know about?

 

Thanks

I've done that and it works fine. The disc is seen as a data DVD and the layerbreak doesn't affect anything.

I'm a definite newb to dual-layer burning so please be patient. Can you tell me if this works for game images? What are the steps to do this? I am trying to make a backup image of my copy of the PC game Bioshock. I have a good image made with with UltraISO but I burnt a coaster the first time with ImgBurn. I have a Liteon DVDRW LH-20A1P and am burning on 2.4x on HP DVD+R 2.4x media. If this method won't work what would you suggest?

All games are protected against copying and will only run with the original disc.

My apologies gents.

I do own my original copy of the game and am only wanting to back it up. I understand if that is not appropriate on this forum and will not ask again. Please forgive the mistake.
