GTA San Andreas (PC) is a huge honkin' game, and was released on a DVD rather than as a 2 (or three) CD set. For my own backup purposes I want to make a copy of the disk (no, seriously) However I haven't got a DVD burner.

What I do have, however, is a CD burner(well actually it's a CD-R-W and DVD ROM drive), and I've heard whispers that a CD burner can burn an image onto a blank DVD just as well as a blank CD, or that there's some way around a CD burner's limitations. I've got plenty of burning utilites and can do without instruction reguarding that (unless the solution might require some special fancy feature that only certain programs have).

Frankly I'm clueless on this issue, could anyone give me some advice reguarding how I might go about burning the data from one DVD onto another?

Doubt it's possible, you need the dvd burn hardware. Could be wrong however.

you could jsut make an iso, then ru the file splitter, and store it on separate CDs

If it's not here (http://www.cdfreaks.com/) , then it can't be done. I'd imagine you'd have to find out the firmware on your current drive to see it's specifications & upgrade options.

Cut the crap,dudes.
Get DVD Shrink,or Auto Gk(this one's free) from internet. Make ISOs. you can use Daemon tools to play the game. But DVD shrink or Auto GK really works...

I expect you already know that you'll need a no-cd fix. In that case, you can split up with WinRAR but it will be tedious to decompress and merge all those partitions, especially from a CD drive.
