im using Rome Total War as an example there are 3 cds to this game and to put them onto a single dvd you will need to change the volume label

Rome_TW_CD1, Rome_TW_CD2, Rome_TW_CD3 these are the volume labels for the 3 cdr's open orca and open the .msi file from cd1, look for the media folder on the left plane and select it you'll notice the volume labels once you click the media folder on this .msi file there are 2 colums of 26 DiskPromt & Volume Label meaning you will need to change 56 labels to your new label say RTW DVD double clicking on each one will allow you to copy and paste the new ones in once all 56 are changed to RTW DVD you can click save then use that instead of the origional from cd1 this will complete the change from 3cdr's to 1dvd i hope this helps someone whos not to sure..

there are some instances were this will not be enough be warned

i will edit this if i find any mistakes in it lol.....

Your Orca zip archive is corrupted. I can't open it with WinZP nor WinRAR.

@Attila
You can download Orca from cd-2-dvd.com. Go to the downloads section there.
