    In the future, keep in mind you could always burn an image over 4.7GB to a dual layer DVD (Verbatim ideally).

    SFAICS, dual layer DVDs are only released to stop people burning a copy so easily. They are a pain in the bottom since the blank media costs more bucks per gigabyte than single-layer, and the burns take proportionately longer and are more prone to coaster.

    Thanks, I read about dual layer DVD's before I posted this thread but I didn't really want to burn the file unless there was no other way to open it.

    That's what I thought. It's a Hallmark card marking program.
