Just wondering if anyone knows how I would go about burning 2 or more CD images to a single DVD.

As an example: Let's say I have Computer Game "X" and it's a 3 disc game. I make ISO images of all three discs with the intent of backing it up for storage should something happen to my original discs. So now I have three different ISO images, discs 1, 2 and 3.

It it possible to put all 3 of those images in order on a DVD+R instead of three separate CD-R's to conserve space? (so I don't have 3 different discs lying around)

You can just simply COPY (not open) all 3 iso's to the DVD... Place them in their own folders and copy them like simple data files.

Copying the ISO's to a DVD may still not do the job. To re-install the software you would still have to write the images to individual CD's. An alternative may work. Extract the files in each ISO and burn them to a directory on the DVD. This should work if there are no duplicate file names.
Since you have the space on the DVD you could do both.

There are several programs that can read and extract files from ISO's, however the install program probably needs the extracted files for all the ISO's to install the whole application.

Daemon Tools from http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/portal.php or Nero ImageDrive can both have an image on ANY drive mounted as a CD-ROM drive. Once you finished installing from one CD, change the image via the program and as if you have put the next CD into your drive. Make sure you put a copy of these files in every DVD to ensure you can run it without hastle. Write DVD's with 4x or 6x and keep them clean, especially before writing to them.
