I have a video teaching software kit. 8 cds total, each cd is only 300mb's thats 2.4GB.

I want to bring this with me but carrying around 8cd's is such a pain, is there anyway I can burn it all to a DVD that acts as if they were supposed to be on 1dvd?

Thanks

What you could do is use some third party virtual CD software to create the image files (variants on ISO, usually) then burn THOSE to DVD. Use the software to mount the images off the DVD.

Yes, and its easily done.

Just find out what kind of requests it makes for the next disk - if its based on absence of file, then you can merge them all into one DVD with no problem. If its based on identifying CDs (on volume-name,etc.) then its difficult and you have to do what robchurch says.

To test what kind of requests it makes, just copy contents of all disks to a single folder on your HDD. If some files refuse to copy, make an ISO image of the disk and then extract the files from it. So now that its all in one place, try installing it and running it - if it all works fine, just burn that folder as a DVD (with the folder being treated as root of the DVD).

Do tell us how it goes!

i have combined multi cds before using orca

but its not easy since i dont have any referrence to work with.

what kind of teaching tool is it?

i forgot to add it the disc are copy protected or protected by copy software

that is another hurdle all together.
