So this is my requirement.

I have disc images ("ISO" images, as some n00bs might (or have) proposed ridiculous ideas :P) of few games, whcih are bigger than the standard 4700MB that a single DVDR can hold.

The games are:
Bioshock
Command & Conquer Tierium Wars
Enemy Territory Quake Wars
Call of Duty 4
Gears of War
Crysis
NFS Pro Street
Unreal III

I want to back them up, but you know the insane prices of DVD-DL. I can't afford them - at least not for this purpose.

Any ideas as to how I should back them up? A method that doesn't require splitting up and recombining is preferred.

Use alcohol. make a image from that ISO. separate it every 4.7gb. and burn it as data.

You need to copy them to the hard disk when installing the game, right? Does it require any sort of (manual) combining?

yes. no need of combining. all the files should be in the same folder that it.

    Thought about it...But u have to first decompress it to the hard disk ne. Take time. And can't be certain that it will fit a DVD anyway.
