Yes, it is possible but it depends on the installation type used by the game.

If the installation askes for the next CD (e.g. Please insert CDx) then you can't put the game onto 1 DVD as the installation is looking for a particular instance of the game CD's autorun.

If the installation askes for a particular file on the next CD (e.g. Please insert the disc containing such and such a file, and it will ask for the location of the file) then you can put onto one DVD as the files are in the same directory as the other setup files.

So, if it's the latter option then just dump all the files into one folder, don't overwrite the autorun of the first CD with the autorun of the following CDs and then burn to a DVD.

it's a pc game "enter the matrix"
looks like i'll have to swap cd's during install oh well
the only way i could think of doing it is by placing all
the cd images eg: bin & cue files into folders eg:cd1,cd2 and so on
burn to dvd-r then mounting each image as needed.
unless theres a way to edit the autorun

What I do is make a folder on my hard drive and copy the files from all four disks in into that folder. Once that's done, I burn the entire folder on to the dvd-r. I have a couple of games on one dvd-r this way.;)
