Vista - iso filoe too big for dvd, how do i split it to put it on 2 dvds?

i got an iso file that 6 gigs but the biggest dvd-/+rw i can find is 4.7
gigs, what do i do to put the fil on 2 dvds so it will work?

Either compress it using WinZip or WinRar.
I don't know what is in this ISO but that's all I can think of.
Hope this helps

a DL disk can hold 8.5 GB. Search for dual layer DVD online and you can
find them for about $30.00-$35.00 and about $2.00-$3.00 for blank disks.

Your player / recorder will have to support them though or they won't work.
They look like any other DVD, their just able to hold more on them then 1st
generation DVD's.

You have made the mistake of doubling the 4.7 GB capacity of single layer
DVDs to calculate a capacity of 9.4 GB.
The DL disks only hold 8.5 GB.

You could mount the .iso file using a program such as "alcohol".
(http://www.alcohol-soft.com/). I use the free version called Alchohol 52%
that works with Vista.
This software creates a virtual drive from the .iso file just as if you had
burned the file to a disk and inserted the disk into the drive.

That's double layer or dual layer - not doulbe sided - it still only uses
one side.
