Game CDs to DVD conversion?

[RedOtober]

If you litraly copy all the contents of one disk into a folder of the same name on the DVD, it'll all run smoothly. I did it using the basic burning software on a G4 Mac and from the DVD onto my hard disk. Then i got the no cd patch. In a nutshell my DVD rom wasn't fast enough to run UT2k4 so this proved the best solution.

I think it would be great if we could create a single game DVD from multiple-cds games, with autorun and no more CD swaps during the install procedure .

I had success w/ a few games :

thief: deadly shadows
farcry, painkiller, doom3 (easy, as you all know)
XIII
diabloII & expansion
Star Wars KOTOR

...but i had no success with :

emperor: battle for dune (only with daemon tools)
the suffering
phantasmagoria I (even with daemon tools...)

Phantasmagoria is a 7-cd game, begging for a DVD backup (saves a lot of storage space!). Daemon Tools does not seems to work in this particular case, because at the end of the first chapter (CD#1), the game asks for the second CD.

So, if you have experience with a particular game, making a total DVD conversion, please post here your story!

Thank you all

If you wish to use the autorun files I used, get them here.

Don't forget to create a autorun.inf looking like this:
[autorun]
open=YourAutoRunFileHere.exe
icon=YourIconHere.ico (this can also be an exe file, it will use the pic the exe uses. I used the pic from a setup.exe as you can see in the screenie posted above.)

Open the ucs file with notepad. Here you can alter the links. Remember tho, the numbers in front of the links are important, you can use it to put the links in any order you like, just have a look at the following;
If you open autoplay.ini, and scroll to the bottom, under [links], you can change where you want the links to be linked to. Now look at the numbers in front of these links. Here's how you can change the order to anything you like.
Under [display] you can change the background pic, and the color/size/font the links should be. You can also change the window size.
Also read the instructions given in the autoplay.ini file, they're good hints.
