I personally always just burn the cds in iso format to the dvd and mount them one by one when its time to install.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

That's a very crappy way. Extremely half-assed. Where is the advantage in doing that? You could also burn the CDs and swap them if you have to mount different images during installation.
The proper way of doing it is to extract the contents of all CD images with Isobuster to a directory on your HDD and then burn everything to a DVD.

I usually do it that way, However it does not always work as the installation asks for 'cd2' 'cd3' etc.
A way to test it will work is to extract all the cds to a dir on your hd then install the game from there. if that works ok then burning all extracted cds to a dvd will work aswell.

Easy, Fast, and you know it will always work. Extract data then burn?... well, it takes much more time and sometimes you need to edit .msi file/use Orca etc or it doesnt work

lol. Whats the advantage of doing that? Your only destroying the original isos, and saving half a second it takes to mount an image. Besides, Ill be done burning and installing the game before you are done coping your cds to the hd. IMO your way is much more "crappy" and fitted more for an extremely lazy or ADHD person.

I have never considered creating a single ISO from multiple ISO images despite it being a brilliant idea. The problem is I am just too lazy. I agree that there is nothing worse than having to change images during an install, but I am just too lazy to create a folder somewhere, extract all the data from the ISOs, and then create one big ISO to boot from. Its not like I am going to be reinstalling the game that often to warrant all the trouble.
I seem to remember that once I was being really lazy, so I created 4 additional virtual cd drives and mounted all the images in one go. Yes, it worked! Not sure it works on all games though. Nice idea though, making one big ISO. Just seems too much trouble for so little gain.

You're not very good at operating a computer are you.

Just burning all ISO's to one DVD is the best method imho.
