Ok, I've had this problem for years and I never knew how to overcome it, so I'll ask the community and see if they can come up with an answer.

I have some very old games, like StarCraft, or Diablo, and even some new ones that come on DVD like Bioshock, ect., ect., that become worn, scratched, you name it, over time. Now my old favorites, some of them, I have been able to successfully backup and throw on the shelves next to the originals. But when games turn to two, three, four CDs, and even with like Bioshock, where it comes on one DVD but is rated at over 6GBs, I run into a problem. I don't have any double-layer DVDs, and I have never tried to burn anything with it. With the CD issue, I'd like to implant all of those CDs on one friendly DVD, to save me money. And For my poor Bioshock game which due to some unfortunate circumstances, is already starting to look shoddy, I'd like to be able to make a backup of that too.

Sooooo my long frustrating problem is this: how can I combine multiple CDs with a bunch of files like my old SC and D2 Disks and throw them one media, or in the case of my Bioshock, how can I divi those files into and still have it auto-install when I want it too.

I never knew how to tackle this problem I've had for years, so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks :)

Guide for beginner to crack DVD or VCD

What is DRM

DRM is an acronym for Digital Rights Management, a broad term used to describe a number of techniques for restricting the free use and transfer of digital content. DRM is used in a number of media, but is most commonly found in video and music files. There are many who argue that DRM is a misnomer, since it deals with use issues rather than the rights of the consumer. They therefore reinterpret DRM to stand for Digital Restrictions Management.

While DRM is most frequently used for movies, it is gaining more widespread use in other media as well. Audio files purchased through many online stores, such as Apple's iTunes Store, have various DRM schemes built in to limit the number of devices they may be played on. Many producers of eBooks are using a similar implementation of DRM to limit how many computers a book may be viewed on, and even how many times it may be viewed. In mid-2005, a number of content producers for television began requesting DRM of their shows via the popular TiVo system.

Therefore,if you want to free enjoy movie oraudio anywhere and anytime,first you should crack it whit some tools and then convert them to your portable player!

There are some tools,which is very easy for beginner.
