Burning 7.72GB data? I have a setup of a PC game of about 7.72GB.Can I burn this onto a normal DVD of capacity 4.7GB?If not,what are the other ways of saving these files as my computer doesn't have blu-ray support?
You can purchase one 8.5 GB Double Layer DVD which will enable you to burn all your data in one disk.
yeah 8.5GB DVD will do it.
also in future or even now there are some games that are more than 14GB!Example GTA4.
for that either purchase two 8.5GB DVDs or purchase 16GB DVD.Also there are 30GB DVDs in the markets.
No. A single layer DVD 4.7 GB DVD cannot fit more that the capacity. That should be pretty obvious.
Do as deepmohan said.
Or you could buy a 8GB pendrive, not too many people i know still burn DVDs/CDs. Just buy it for Rs800 odd, good investment.

what is the max. size of pen drive arrived yet??
8 GB and 16 GB are becoming fairly common these days. The max that I have seen (in a store) is 64 GB. But 128 GB / 256 GB may be round the corner.
MAN!256GB
more than my hard disk!!!
r they big in real size(body)??
They are also of same size. Kingston Datatraveler 300 256GB.
They are basically a little thicker (fatter) but still way compact than external HDD's.
not to mention they are extremely expensive too...
Oh! The cost will come down eventually. I remember purchasing a 256 MB SD Card for my camera for £49.99, a year later a 4 GB pen drive for $49.99 and recently (a year ago) a 2 GB pen drive for Rs. 400.
128GB Pendrives are $369 xD
Maybe they will fall to such levels where we can actually buy them in a few years....
i heard about an 80GB portable hard drive.
but pen drive and 256GB is like unbelievable.
the technology has really made an effort.
We are now degressing and going offtopic. We could start a new thread on this.
no there's no need.now all plz stop this topic and i am sorry for being a part of this offtopic.
sorry.
all now lets come ontopic.
Use some utility like winrar to split the setup file(folder) into 2 parts of say, 4GB each.... Then burn into two single layer DVDs........ When you want to extract at a later time, copy both the parts into system and extract using the same application......
Dual layer DVDs are still much costly for anyone's liking at the moment.......
The thread starter wants to create a setup DVD for a game.Use some utility like winrar to split the setup file(folder) into 2 parts of say, 4GB each.... Then burn into two single layer DVDs........ When you want to extract at a later time, copy both the parts into system and extract using the same application......
Dual layer DVDs are still much costly for anyone's liking at the moment.......
Hence WinRAR splitting technique will not be suitable.
spam user. Please delete him and his all posts too.

Which is the best company for Dual Layer DVD's and whats the price?
Well, I just suggested a method for backing up his game dvd.....
He can always install or run the game using an iso image mounted.........
So you are suggesting him to backup game on pendrive leave it, so pendrive will further will not be used?Or you could buy a 8GB pendrive, not too many people i know still burn DVDs/CDs. Just buy it for Rs800 odd, good investment.
Pendrive will more be used as transfer device rather than storing device,
In dvd you can store game permanently.
This technique works, thanks for suggesting.Use some utility like winrar to split the setup file(folder) into 2 parts of say, 4GB each.... Then burn into two single layer DVDs........ When you want to extract at a later time, copy both the parts into system and extract using the same application......

Use pen drive pal it is the best and safest option
Thread starters requirement is to backup his games setup permanently which is of 7 GBs, you are suggesting his for pen drive so he will have to go for 8 GB pen drive which will cost his Rs. 800 to 900 /- and a 8.5 GB Double Layer DVD will come for Rs. 100/-.
Who want pen drive for using only once? You want to use it often, isn't you?
For backing up game permanently DVD is right choice. And who said pen drive is safest, you can lost it, virus & tronjans came from pen drive. So how is it safest option?
