hm, i dopnt rlly know, but, u could try making a folder with the lable of the cd and the contents inside and so on so if the game is 2 cds then make 2 folders in the dvd with each of the cds labels as their names, its the only idea that comes to my head dunno if it will work tho

It's not possible with all games.
I have done this with some of my games. I think all the games where a DATA1.CAB, DATA1.HDR & DATA2.CAB is on CD1 and DATA3.CAB on CD2 and so on, will work.

You can try to copy all files from the cds to a folder on your hd. Then burn all the file to a DVD using the CD label of CD2.
(To don't trash a DVD-R/+R you can write the files to an image-file and mount it in DaemonTools or Alcohol120%)

PS: For example, with NFS Underground it wasn't so easy. With this game you have also edit two files.

EDIT:
Game i have test this method positive:
- Beyond Good And Evil (3 CDs)
- Battlefield Vietnam (3 CDs)
- Dungeon Siege - Legends Of Aranna (3 CDs)
- NFS Underground (2 CDs) + editing two files
- Colin McRae Rally 4

and it seems the Unreal Tournament 2004 DVD are the same like the 6 CDs, so it is possible to make the 6 CD version to one DVD.

Hi talonds, if you install the game onto your hard disk, apply the no-CD patch, export the game's registry entries into a file, then archive the whole **** into one huge RAR/ACE/ZIP/whatever file then you won't even have to bother with installing the game. Just uncompress, import the registry file and there you go playing. Another advantage is that you can apply official (and non-official) upgrades to it before (re)archiving it...

Joe

Ut2004

I tried it with UT2004, completely copied all the files off the 6 disks to a dvd and it works fine ...
