I have an ISO file that is 33 gigs of data and need to burn it to 2, 25 gig BR-R disks. Since the capacity of the disks are 25 gigs each, how do I brake it down to 2 disks? I'm using the Free ISO Burner. I also have Power2Go but I don't know if I can use it to burn ISO which requires Image to disk option.This file is a 3d movie collection that needs to be burnt to a BD-R disk in order to be viewed.

Thanks.
Elliot

Where did that ISO come from? Isn't an ISO supposed to be a disk image? How could you have a disk image of something bigger than a disk?

What format are those movies in? Jerry Schwartz

I downloaded this file at Bit Torrent. I suppose the movies format is "avi" or "mp4". You are right about ISO being a disk image. That's why it can only be burned in my case on a BD-R disk to view it.

As I mentioned this is 33 gig file downloaded to the computer. I'm not burning it from a disk or making a copy, hence your question; "How could you have a disk image of something bigger than a disk?".

My solution will be to use a 50 gig BD-R disk and burn it on on side (25gig) and the remainder (8gig)= 33 gig on the other side. Or use 2 one sided 25. My problem is that I don't know how to split this data or rather burn it as a continuation.

If I use Power2Go software it will tell me that the data will not fit. I don't want to waste a disk to trial and error. I don't know if at the end of the first 25gig burn the program will prompt me to insert another disk to finish the other 8gig or terminate at 25gig ignoring the remainder.

So I'm looking for some help from someone who has had experience in a case scenario like mine. Hope this clarifies some of your inquiries. Thanks for taking time to help.

You've answered your own question: Since an ISO is a disk image, you can't span it across multiple disks.

A double-sided disk would have the same problem. It's just two separate disks, back to back.

What you need are dual-layer Blu-ray disks, and a burner that can handle them.
