A question about archiving...stuff
Hypothetically speaking, let's say a friend of mine has come into *cough cough* possession *cough cough* :devil: of some cue/bins and want's to archive them on a CD/R.  Obviously I've warned him not to "borrow" things and he promises they're legit.   He has a problem though, the files are almost 800Mb and the largest media he can find is 700Mb.  How could he go about archiving them?

what I'm trying to be discreet? :nervous:
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Can't they be compressed? If no, I guess he (or you? ;)) needs a DVD burner..
No surrender, no retreat.

Indeed. DVD burner. Cheap as chips.

And if you can't afford chips. You'd have the cash in one day of being a prostitute or stripper.

Since he "borrowed" that stuff, then it's probably no harm to split the image into two CD-Rs.  If the program is relatively new and is a game, the game probably won't recognize a burnt CD/DVD anyway.

Applications are different...

Amazin' what a little google search'll turn up, ain't it?  6th post down.

I need to learn to search first, ask later.

Indeed, it's always a good move to search first.
