I am presently downloading a MS add-on with lots of maps. Its 1.4 gigs! How do you load onto a DVD something beyond its capacity? Is there a DVD that can take this? I understand that if I buy this, I have to pay to get a key # to load in, so it works in something other than demo mode. But, how do you load this big a file to a DVD? I don't have one that big!

Hello Jim,
Actually a DVD (standard DVD-R) has the capacity to hold 4.7 GB of data, while a CD (CD-R) holds only 700 MB. You should be able to burn the Casablanca Maps software easily onto a DVD, just remember for the disk to be read in your Casablanca as software it must be an ISO image file/s.
You can also order (I believe for a nominal fee) the software disk from MacroSystem US with these products on them already.
Regards,
Chet

It called itself an ISO file on the download, and now its in. Sooo, we will see how this works. Thanks!
