    I have a ISO file that is 6.15 GB in size. I tried to use Magic ISO to burn it to a DVD but Magic said the disc (4.7 GB) is to small. Also tried Imgburn and it also said the disc is to small.
    Is their a way to burn the ISO using two DVD disc.

    You'll need a dual layer (~8Gb) DVD to burn the ISO, your DVD drive also has to be DL compatible. From wikipedia (I know :))

    Dual-layer recording

    What is the content of the iso? With magiciso you can open the iso and edit it: add or delete files. If you had 2 copies of the iso you could edit the first and delete half the content, then edit the second and delete the opposite half, then burn each to its own dvd.

    If the content is a large single file such as a movie, then you'll have to use burning software that supports spanning disks. Nero does this. Else you'll need to do what was suggested above.

    This is a paint program that has to be installed on your computer. I have installed programs on my computer that came on two disc. The first disc is installed and then when the second disc is needed a pop up says to insert second disc.
    I really didn't know but thought maybe their was a program that would put my iso file of 6.15GB on two disc.

    Fred,

    If you post the software name and your OS version there may be other solutions (be aware though that we don't condone piracy on these boards, I'm not saying this is the situation but my first port of call would be the software distributors for a solution).

    Something doesn't add up here.
    How did you make the ISO? Is it a copy of the installation directories for this software? Or is it a copy of the 2 software install disks?

    Either way, I find is very unuaual that any software install would be 6.15 GB. Most software such as this comes on CDROMs, not DVDs.
