I want to play a backup of Ninja Gaiden which is close to 5 gigs. Can you put the game on 2 dvd-r's? If so what program does this and how do i do it? Thanks Jaw

1) You can take the files, and spread them across 2 disks! The games will usually not be playable using this method, but you will be able to use XBCOPY to read both Disks to the XBOX HD, where you can rebuild the directory tree, and play the title just fine! The 2 disks can be burned using GDF’ed ISO format, or UDF. It doesn’t matter cause in the end this is only an archive... and not an executable (playable) set of disks.
2) You can Max Compress the Source Image, in which case it will be USUALLY small enough to fit on a single DVD blank. This works, but you will need a PC to decompress the Archive, and then FTP back to the XBOX.. UDF may be preferred for this situation.
3) Tearing out files (commonly called RIPPING or RAPING) like DEMOES, Down-sampling Movies and Audio, and removing XBOX Online Directory. What you will be left with is hopefully playable from the burned disk. This method will likely require Trial and Error to get a working copy. UDF / GDF both are both acceptable methods.
I hope this helps you, there is not much out there on this as there are only a few games that fit this category. You can always keep it on your hard drive and play it via that avenue for sure. _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

I usually go for option 3.
As a standard practice I RAR all my Xbox games and dump them onto DVD-R's, then if I need them I just extract and FTP them over...
