Yes six is correct, from the wording in your post it sounds like you want to take your store bought DC games and burn backup copies of them. That is impossible through that method.

No, actually it sounds like she might be trying to burn a large image onto a 74 minute CD. Keep in mind, TheMaskedm0m0, if you try to copy a GD-ROM, you'll only get 2-4 meg of data...

First thing, if your image is a .CDI (Disc Juggler) and it looks slightly bigger than your disc, try loading it into Disc Juggler anyway, the image size is displayed and it will show smaller size than the actual .CDI filesize. You may need an 80min disc to burn some games, and your burner must also be capable of burning 80min CDs (most are). It may also be possible that the image is slightly larger than the disc (81 min rather than 80 min). In Disc Juggler "ADVANCED" settings, you have an option to overburn. You may be able to overburn the image, depending on your CD Burner. Try it - it will only cost you one disc to learn whether your burner can handle it or not.
