ChrisIB Â Â 11 #1 Posted April 26, 2019 I need to burn an ISO image to DVD which is about 5GB As it is over the standard 4.7GB single layer limit I guess I will need to use a DVD DL disc. Checked and my DVD burner supports DVD DL, does anyone know if I can buy the discs from an outlet in Sheffield or is it be Amazon? On Windows 10 or Linux will it just be the usual burning process of right clicking the ISO and burn? Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alchresearch   215 #2 Posted April 26, 2019 PC World might have some in.  Is there anything you can remove from the ISO? Or can you put the ISO on a memory stick to boot from that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghozer   112 #3 Posted April 26, 2019 Or just try it?  I remember cd overburn, you could squeeze 700mb on a 650mb CD for example.. (it wouldnt always work)  Might he worth a try  otherwise, tesco, asda, Sainsbury's, wilko, curry's.. few options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ChrisIB Â Â 11 #4 Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the suggestions. It's a Windows 10 64 bit ISO, took a look but don't think I can take anything out of it. Tried a test burn with a 4.7 to see if it would fit but just complains it is not large enough. Alas couldn't find any DL discs locally Edited April 26, 2019 by ChrisIB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghozer   112 #5 Posted April 26, 2019 Can I ask why you're wanting to put it on a DVD specifically? It's MUCH easier using the "Media Creation Tool" from MS, to create a bootable USB key...  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The only downside to USB is that some systems won't allow boot from it. The pound type stores usually stock DVD but I doubt they'll be very good quality, might be worth a call first though.

ChrisIB Â Â 11 #7 Posted April 27, 2019 Yep, agree about the media creation tool. Have had about an equal number of problems with DVDs and USBs over the years so thought I would try this route. Perhaps I ought to freshen my mindset! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ChrisIB Â Â 11 #12 Posted May 5, 2019 Ended up getting some Verbatim from Amazon, burnt at 2x using Linux Xfburn (took over half an hour), but it worked and installed fine on a new Windows box. Took it's time though, should get a USB 3 external drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
