Go to the corner drug store and buy a dual layer DVD (if your burner can burn it). You can also check to see if you have shrink set to a target DVD Size for DVD-5 4.7GB (4464 MB)..

Download daemon tools lite, and mount the image. Then install the game.. How big is the game, +R and -R have like 2-3 megs difference. I think the DVD-R is a tad smaller but its rare a game would not fit on a dvd-r.

If its a game thats over 5gb, which i would imagine the scene or a group of crackers would re-encode the video files to fit under a dvd5 standard. Just mount with daemon tools and install.

DVD shrink is only for dvd movies. Also, is this a PC game, or is it a console game? IF it's a console game, you will need DVDDL disks to burn it. If it's a PC game, just use Daemon tools to install and run the game, you wont ever need to burn it. If you want to back it up though, you can just use winrar to split the disk image and just back it up on 2 disks.

You need to get it flashed, but you take a real big chance on voiding the warranty.
