5 CDs Game to DVD-R?

[NRJ]

I don't know if this is the right location to post it, since it is not Video related.

I don't have a DVD burner yet, but planning to get one this year or so.

My question is, I have a few games which comes with 4 to 5 CDs. When I play it tells me to change CD once an a while as the game goes. It's a bit of a pain sometimes when you have to change it regularly. So would there be a way to to burns all those 5 CDs into 1 DVD-R and play the game from there without changing CD/DVD all the time? If possible, I would like to know how to do it. Would burning 5 CD-Images to DVD-R do the trick?

Thanks

I don't know if it would work, but why don't you try putting it all to a rewriteable and post up how it went?

If it works, I have a few games I could do that to.

Thanks,

you could try copying all the contents of the discs to one recordable dvd.. but that probably wont work. you could also try burning disc images of the 5 discs to one recordable dvd and then mount the images through daemon tools (http://daemon-tools.cc).. you wouldnt have to physically eject/insert discs, but you would have to get back to the windows desktop.

you might try a no-cd patch for the game too.. although i'm not sure of the legality of telling you where you could find such a thing in this forum.

I do this regularly, just create an iso or cue/bin of each cd, burn to a dvd, and install DaemonTools to handle the emulation of a cd drive for you.

The first one I did this with was baldur's gate as i don't like switching between 5 cd's constantly. You do still have to minimize the program, right click on the daemontool icon and choose a new image to load, but it's alot easier than playing find the cd in my stack of about 500 of them.
