xaero Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 ok i downloaded a linux distro , 669MB in .iso format, but i dont have a cd so i wanna burn on DVD. nero only accepts DVD so is it ok if i extract the .iso contents and burn them on a dvd in data format? and is it ok to burn multiple .iso on i dvd? like 2 or 3 distro cds on 1 single dvd? is that possible?

Deveant Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 as for extracting the contents of the iso, then burning them with nero, it works fine :D, as for the multi-images, im not quite sure, as for what i can see, you will need a program to load the individual images, so it wouldnt be easly done, but do-able, but then the images wont be on the root of the CD which will then also cause issues.

moonlit Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Burn it using DVD Decrypter (now called ImgBurn), it can burn CD images to a DVD. Most programs won't convert it, which needs to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Just Burn the one image to the DVD as if you were burning it to a CD. As for the Multiple Images, you would need to get some sort of Loader and DVD Partitioner (dont know it they exist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 You *cannot* normally burn a CD image to a DVD, it doesn't work. As I said though ImgBurn will make the necessary tweaks on the fly so that it will work. I don't know of any other software that does this on the fly.

I don't know of any other software that does this on the fly. agreed, there is formating and sectors and shit involved, it doesnt work that easly, though shoutouts to moonlit, ive had DVD Decrypter, but didnt know it can do the converting :) Ive just always extracted the ISO (using Magic ISO) then burnt the contents as Data to the DVD, running it with Bootable options (Nero) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You *cannot* normally burn a CD image to a DVD, it doesn't work. I do it on a regular basis with Nero. Nero must convert it then, DVDs and CDs use different file systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
