How do you open .cab files bigger than 2 GB?

thebare · 10-07-2007, 04:45 PM

I want to burn something onto a DVD (using Nero Express) with a .cab file bigger than 2 GB.. It won't allow me to burn it. I can't even extract the files using winzip/wirar or any other unpacking tool.
Is there any way to get around this?
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure it's a proper image file?

I don't think it can be done with Nero express. If I recall right, you can't burn DVD images, only CD images. I think PowerISO offers a 30 day trial that you could use to do it.

newer versions of nero can definitely burn DVD images.
