    OK, well i have been wondering a few things, i've ftp my original games to pc HDD, build an ISO file of them, BUT the ISO files are 5-8GB... So my question is how do u burn such a size to a dvd, well yeah u will say, use a dual layer disc, but will a DVDRW copy a dual disc...???? or do i need to spend more money LOL.. buying a dual layer recorder ??
    Also what type disc is best to burn to, is it DVD+-R or DVD+-RW, my xbox v1.1 has a samsung cdrom. I would like peoples advise and experience in trying different disc types

    what games are 8GB??? you must be doing something wrong because usually games will fit onto dvd-5's (4.7GB). some games are just a little too big to fit like Halo 2, and you can cut out parts. there are tutorials on how to do this in the forums i think...anyways if the games are actually 8GB youre gonna have to buy a DVD-9 they hold around 8.5GB i think, theyre about $5 each though.
