I have a computer wit a cd-rw drive and dvd-r drive. I have been burning games to my hard drive but im running out of room on my hard drive. I also know you can burn games on cd-r's but not many games fit on cd-r's. Is there any way I can burn games onto a dvd disc with a cd-rw drive a dvd-r drive and a evolution x connection between my computer and my xbox. Please Tell Me!

I tried that.....CD and DVD are both different medias.....too bad the CD can hold up to 700mb of space....you can burn the games that are about 700mb or less on the cdr or cdrw. By the way, you know if you don't have the original game and its on your HDD then thats illegal!

DVD burning guide in my sig. Hope it helps.

i wouldnt bother.get a dvd writer.i tried backing up simpsons road rage which i bought,burned it to cd-rw.but it didnt write all the files.burned it on dvd-r.worked fine.and this is a very small game.

Uh, you say your computer has a DVD-R drive. Burn them to DVDs. No problem.

Im burning games i already have. I just am really disorganized and lose my games all the time. So I need to use the ones on the hard drive. Also you cant burn with a dvd-r you need a dvd+rw.

Thanks for the help so far. Any more ideas please send em!

without dvd writer, how can i burn dvd-r?

i assume that dvd writer is a burner
correct me if i am wrong

yes it is a burner

Ah I see.

What you have IS NOT a DVD-R

It is a DVD-ROM. ROM = Read Only Memory. It is a read only drive.

A DVD-R drive is a DVD writer. A DVD+R drive is another type of DVD writer.

my b! I guess I'll just get my fat ass up and buy a dvd-r drive. Thanx for the help.

<sarcasm>Hmmm. Lots of people on this site have too much money so they go and buy a DVD burner to burn DVD's although they all have perfectly good CD burners that could do the job. That makes sense. </sarcasm>

If you ever work that out, maybe you could work on how to play DVD movies in a VCR next

I figured out a way to play DVD movies in a VCR, but you need a beta VCR and some tin foil.





Edit: Wow, sorry for this post. That was stupid. What a waste of board space.
