Usually when you extract the rars its already an ISO. But yeah once you got the iso, just burn and play!

no, don't burn 60 files of txt.........lol

yes, usually after you unpack the multiple rars, you usually get a .gi or .iso file. Then you just burn that to a DVD, CD-RW etc.

They have probably been posted in Yenc, you need software that supports decoding of Yenc, from the sounds of it your not using a newsreader that does it automatically. Get yourself a copy of Grabit, its free and supports the automatic decoding of yenc so it will leave you with .rar files instead of text. I have never used an external decoder so i have no idea were to get one but i do know the exist, a search on Google perhaps?

Peace

And for the future, Grabit from here>>>www.shemes.com/grabit

quick ??? when i get the iso and try burning it is around 850mgs so i tried using nero image onto a dvdr but it will only let me burn to a cdr/w and not a dvd. is there something in the iso that says it has to be a cdr and not dvd.

I have no idea why NERO does this but yeh it does, Prassi primo DVD on the other hand doesn't do it, i never use NERO for xbox stuff as it handles DVD material badly, just have a look in the DVD forum.

Get a copy of Prassi and all your troubles will go away, or get Record Now Max as its essentially Prassi but an updated version.

just look for a sequential number of rars for the game which u are after, chect the file size they are usually around 20meg. It sounds like you are just downloading the headers
