Hi. I know, gog.com is about downloading. Still I tend to backup my games to DVDs. However, for bigger games like Riddick and Alan Wake there is a lot o space wasted on DVDs, since the installer files are all trimmed to 2GB (I understand why this is the case). It would be cool if every 3rd file would have a file size of 500-600 MB, so we can almost fill a DVD wih 4.7GB.

Comment burried. Unhide. .

The installers are already compressed, so compressing them in winrar does not get you far. I would recommend with winrar is taking the game folder and having it archive it and split it into dvd-sized sections to burn on each disc. Gog would have to supply something like disc images for this and if you only want somethings, editing a disc image is not fun and having lots of them wastes space. So splitting them in winrar is the best overall method of creating dvd-backups and also burning them in imgburn also helps keep the burning consistent. It would be nice but not very feasible because the installers are already compressed and split up.
