1. Create folders 'DISK1' and 'DISK2' (that's will be label names) and copy content of DVD9 to folder 'DISK1'

2. From 'DISK1' move to 'DISK2' files: c2.cab, c3.cab

3. From 'DISK1' copy to 'DISK2' folders: Dist, Support and files: Autorun.inf, Autorun.ico

4. In 'DISK2' open Autorun.inf with Notepad and edit to look like this:

Code:
[autorun]
open=0
icon=Autorun.ico

5. Download, extract and replace edited 'Autorun.dat': 'BFBC2_2xDVD5.rar' to 'DISK1' folder

6. Burn or make iso's with label name DISK1 and DISK2

mis2, for PL/ENG (or any other double language conversions) use Peterf1999 conversion for 1xdvd5 , in any case it should fit on 1xdvd5 (PL/ENG - 4,07GB)

Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 (DVD9 to 1xDVD5) PL/ENG Language

1) Make 'temp' folder

2) Copy DVD9 contents to 'temp' folder

3) Extract 'BFBC2_1xDVD5.7z' contents to 'temp' folder

4) Launch re-compress.bat, select your language (PL!) & wait...

5) Edit 'localization.ini' in 'support' folder under [LOCALES] label,
put a space character to front every row of others languages entries, EXCEPT PL & ENG

6) Burn or make iso with label name of your choice

Works excellent with multi 5, thx!!

[anticitizen101]

thanks peterf1999. DVD9 to 1xDVD5 works great.

[peterf1999]

@ all
DVD5 size ~ 3.74 gb

c2+c3 ~ 828 mb

edit localization.ini like this (For italian conversion, i put a space character to front all rows except italian one):

[LOCALES]
 de=1
 en-us=1
 en-uk=1
 es=1
 fr-fr=1
it=1
 ja=1
 pl=1
 ru=1

Its simple,like this for english:

[LOCALES]
 de=1
en-us=1
en-uk=1
 es=1
 fr-fr=1
 it=1
 ja=1
 pl=1
 ru=1

everyone that has issues with following peter's conversions. EASIEST thing to do, change your environment setting ( where the temp folder is to another drive )

goto control panel --> system settings --> advanced tab --> environment variables at bottom. CHANGE the ones at the top for current user profile & under system variables at the bottom. CHANGE the TEMP / TMP folders to another drive. ( the TEMP folder has to exist before changing it first. ) I use another HD that has 2-300GB freespace on it. Rather then using my OS system drive, make it so much easier to delete everything in that 1 folder then having to scroll down thru windows folders. NEVER run into problems with running out of space ever again, because temp folder isnt on system drive.
