Backup CD game to DVD ?

been looking around abit and don't seem to be able to find any information regarding this, whether it's possible etc, etc....

Anyways what it is I was hoping to do:

I'd like to burn CD games to DVD

now although I havn't attempted it yet, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to burn 2, 3, or 4 games to a dvd and have them install correctly....ASSUMING their only one disk

but

what about games requiring 3 or 4 disks to install....

is it possible to burn a 4 cd game to a dvd and actually have it run through the install correctly....without having to make a batch file directing the program to where the next disk resides....

Any thoughts/help/info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Appologies if there is already a thread pertaining to this, I did search forums but didn't spot anything that appeared to be relevant

TIA

Re: Backup CD game to DVD ?

There are not many games that you can combine from multiply CD's onto a DVD. Also because of the copy protection on CD's along with a few other things the only way to really get them onto a DVD is to burn them on as images. Once on there you simply load the image up into a Virtual Drive and use it from there.
