    i have a bunch of my games backed up on my comp and wanted to burn them. a lot of them are small just over 2gb. i want to put a couple of them on a dvd. also a few were bigger then what could be saved on a 4.7gb disk. i copressed them all to .rar format. nero wont let me burn files over 2gb. is there any way to get around this? using another program or something. thanks for all the help

    Im confussed on what you want to do.

    1) you want to "store" your games on a DVD in rar format?

    2) you want to make a multi-game disc to play on your xbox?

    3) you compressed the big ones with winRAR to fit on DVD, and still want to be able to play it?

    You need to be specific on what you want to do, cause I haven't a clue.

    Try using xISO to extract the game to individual folders and FTP into the harddrive to see if the game works that way.

    Do what Hrdrk20 says. If it doesn't work that way, I'd say it's a bad/corrupt ISO.
