Is there any way that the source can be remastered so that it fits on 2
dvd. Seems kind of daft that it stretches to three dvd for the sake of
212mb.
If it can be squeezed onto two dvd then we will be able to press the dvd
as a double sided dvd. As it is right now there has to be a third dvd.
Perhaps there is source for a very large game or something that could be
left off??
