    I have 4 iso files that are all about 650mb and i would like to burn them to 1 DVD but i do not know if this is possible, It was suggested to me that Nero can do this but i am not going to buy it unless i am sure.

    Having searched the web all i find are 2 or 3 year old threads and they do not give a definitive answer.

    Now you want all four ISOs ON 1 dvd or all 4 ISOs AS one dvd?
    To put them ON a dvd you need a dvd burner & software for making a data disk (nero or cd burnerxp) and select create a data disk & select the ISOs. You'll have all 4 ISOs ON a DVD.
    The other way around you'd have to 'rip' or extract the ISOs to folders merge them and author a dvd - which most likely will not work because of the different folders & file sructures.. depending on how the disks are laid out - still it may be messy & not likely to work.
    You could extract the ISOs to individual folders and burn them to the dvd - might have a better chance of working.

    What they are is 4 tutorials in iso form and normally they would burn to 4 CDs but i do not use CDs and would like to get them on a DVD.

    I have UltraIso and tried to mount them to a virtual drive but they would not run in that form??

    If they are not bootable ISO's, I'd then extract them all (with your favorite iso extractor (7-zip)), then burn them to dvd (imgburn).

    UltraISO (if memory serves me) should have the option to open and extract ISOs. Extract all the files to a folder, CD1, Cd2, and so on.

    Surely if you extract the contents of the ISOs to a hard drive you have no need to then burn them to CD as they should run from the hard drive.

    I just want to save them to a DVD for safety in case anything corrupts the PC, i have already saved them in iso format to an external drive and it came into my head "i wonder if i can burn all 4 to 1 DVD".

    I`m not sure if this will work in your situation, but it is free, and does work with iso files. Nothing to loose but a dvd, and some time. It is found here at MajorGeeks: http://majorgeeks.com/DVD_Flick_d5530.html

    Ah, thought you wanted to play from the dvd, not just copy the ISOs to dvd.
