[TRV]

You can backup Act of War on two (4,7 GB)-DVDs without ripping anything.

Copy all DVD content to a folder (e.g. "AOW").
Create a second folder (e.g. "AOW_Disc2").
Move "data3.cab" - "data6.cab" from "AOW" to "AOW_Disc2".
Copy "ActOfWar.dat" from "AOW" to "AOW_Disc2".
Put game fixes, trainers... in a new folder on "AOW" or "AOW_Disc2".
Burn both disks labeled whatever you called them before.

During intallation of the 1st disc you will be asked to insert the "Play Disc". Thats the point were you insert the 2nd disc. You can pause the movie if you are watching it.

Copy the nodvd-gamefix to your Installdir.

Have fun.
