i have a few games 'backupped' on my pc , mostly 2 or 3 cd images. i cba sticking them all on cds really, im going  to get a dvd-rw drive sometime soon. whats the best way to get these games off my hd?

at the moment, i just use alcohol imagedrives to load the cds, so i could do the same if I stuck a load of images on DVD's?

Or is there a way I could burn multiple images to one DVD and then use them as if they are on separate cds (confusing myself now )

Just after opinions on the best way to do this really. I'd buy another hard drive if I could afford it but I cant really, and I'd prefer to wait till i eventually upgrade and get a sata one.

it seems the easiest way, what ive done tho to save on DVDS is just put in a spare 60 gig drive and filled it with images, and set daemon tools up to have 4 devices so i can have any 4 images in use at once

is daemon tools free?

ive had alcohol installed for about a year and just mount the images from My Computer which works fine.

guess slapping multiple images on DVD is the best plan, that was what i was thinking.
