Yes I have had a look at COD, I personally think its not going to go to DVD!
There have been many requests for this conversion, maybe I should leave a little note in the Index in post 1 of the CD2DVD thread saying "Call of Duty and Chronicles of Rid**** wont go to DVD!"

In regards to Chronicles of Rid****, it uses (i think) a compression technique called Extended Compression Architecture - hence the use of files containing the extension *.xca. I think that there's a program called Data Accelerator Compression that can read these *.xca files and possibly - in theory - extract and recompress the files so as to make it possible to fit onto DVD.

But until then it looks like the only way is to create the discs into an ISO format and burn those files to a DVD.

I've actually found that the iso way is my favorite one. Allows you to keep more than one game in a CD for feature use, so less cd changes after a format (which are quite frequent with my system.) Managed to fit Sims 2, University and Pro 4 in a DVD with images, and it works like a charm.

just realised the mac version of call of duty is dvd. no fair
there must be someway of doing this, perhaps making an entirely new install file from scratch?
i even thought of making a program to confuse the setup somehow, making it think the disk in the drive is called CoD2 when it calls for disk 2

I have managed this, but you do need installshield or something similar...

not sure if I was to pass on the msi and needed files it would be classed as warez...

the game files you would need yourself..

it's very simple to do, the files you need are 3.57mb...

cueball - i think it would be ok if you passed the file on, try uploading it to GCW

there are files on GCW for other games, for example Doom 3, to back them up on DVD, so this is no different and should be allowed

only United Offensive has an MSI file, the normal Call of duty doesn't have an MSI file so converting COD will be hard but UO won't be.
