dvd-9 discs

**teerak2uk** · 31st March 2003

Hi all

after a bit of help have tried to backup one of my
games which must be on dvd-9 format (approx 6.5 Gb)
and was wondering how to do it any help will be
much appreciated

Which game is it ?

- you will need to be pretty up on game ripping to do anything like this. There are a couple of things you can do to get the size down.

1. remove any demos etc if there are any - check the folders to see if there is a demos folder.
2. downsample or remove any music files you find or downsample or remove movie files you can find.

If the you cannot find any thing that looks like a demo/music/movie then it will be a lot harder to reduce this game and it may not be possible to get it down to 4.3 Gb from 6.5 Gb - good luck.

I think there is a 2 disk rip version out now ?

oE.

**fe_man2000** · 31st March 2003

Yeah I thought it would be MGS2 - if you have the original and are making a backup of it your probally out of luck as it has never been released as a one disk version - and the guys who do the ripped releases usually really know there stuff. Its runable only from the Harddrive as Far as I can see.

Yeh and given the size you will have to have installed a bigger HD as the game is to big to fit on one partition.
