Movies in 1920p quality, as well as many modern computer games, are released on media with a capacity of 7-8 GB. To copy files of this size, you need to make a disk image. But on what to write such an image and how to transfer it to a computer? There are three ways to burn or burn 7GB DVD images.
Instructions
Step 1
The first way is the easiest - to burn the image to a CD of the appropriate size - for example, a 7 GB, 8 GB, or 9 GB DVD. These discs are called DVD-DL (“Double Layer”). In this case, you need any burning software that supports burning images, for example, Nero Burning or Ashampoo, some of them are free. Please note that DVD -DL and DVD-DS are different discs. DVD-DSs usually have the same capacity as double-layer discs, but are double-sided (“Double Side”) and do not allow you to record a file larger than 4.7 GB on one side of the disc.
Step 2
The second way is to copy the image to a flash card or flash drive larger than the disk itself, 8, 16 or more gigabytes in size, or to a portable external HDD. To run such a disk image on another computer, you need a program for mounting a virtual disk. The free version of the Daemon Tools Lite program is suitable for this. After installing it and restarting the computer, a virtual DVD drive will appear in the system folder "My Computer". By right-clicking on it, you will see the Daemon Tools context menu and you can select the image file from the flash drive to launch the virtual disk. Usually the image file is in ISO format.
Step 3
And finally, the third way is to split the image into desks (parts) and burn two ordinary DVD-R or DVD-RW discs with a capacity of 4.3 or 4.7 GB. To split the disk image into two parts, you will need a WinRAR archiver. It performs file splitting even in unregistered state. After installing WinRAR, select the disk image file, right-click on it and click “Add to archive …” in the context menu. In the window that appears to configure the parameters of the future archive in the main tab (it is enabled by default), in the lower left corner, select the size of the desks from the standard list, for example, “DVD + R: 4481 mb”, or enter another desired size of the parts, and then click “OK”. The program will split the file into parts with the names “Filename.part1.rar” and “Filename.part2.rar” and save the parts of the archives to the original folder, where the original disk image is located. Burn the archive files onto two DVDs and unpack their contents for installation on another computer, alternately inserting the discs into the tray.
