Well my question is will this fit onto a 4.8 Gig DVD? My next question, I am not sure which section of this forum it should be in? Downloaded a 5.02 Gig game. I dont have a DVD burner yet. I would like to play this game. I have mounted the image on a virtual drive. I have tried installing it and I get . So how do I get this game going?
actually the 4.7 gig disc you are referring to is really only 4.3 gig. Heres a post that will explain: cgram7 Newbie 29. August 2004 @ 13:26 Keep in mind that manufacturers quote the capacity of a writable DVD disc in decimal (base 10) rather than binary (base 2) notation so a 4.7 GB disc stores 4.7 billion bytes [4:700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1000 = 4,700,000 KB ÷ 1000 = 4,700 MB ÷ 1000 = 4.7 GB] . Expressed in binary notation (as is typical with CD-R, CD-RW and most operating systems) the same disc has a capacity of roughly 4.38 GB [4:700,000,000 bytes ÷ 1024 = 4,589,844 KB ÷ 1024 = 4,482.27 MB ÷ 1024 = 4.38 GB]
