as shady says most dvds in relatively new computers are dual layer. you can also upgrade via legit or hacked firmware on many older dvds to make them dual layer.

Gordy that must be the biggest prog i have ever seen. Windows isnt even that size.

Anyway if you have downloaded it and its on the pc you want to install it dont waste your time burning to dvd. Just mount it on a virtual dvd rom - simple stuff.

Heres a guide (there are loads of virtual drive progs about) you dont have to use clone.

Agree with that gmb45 DVD shrink would of shrunk this down to a more viable file size for a DVD.
