Possible to burn a compressed DMG image?

[DeathByGuitar]

I downloaded an image of of bittorrent that was 2.5 gigs compressed, but it wouldnt open, so I used Zipeg, and it extracted the image, which is 6.6 gigs uncompressed. Of course, now I can't burn the image to a dvd, but I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to burn the image while compressed? Thanks a bunch.

Sounds like you just need to invest in a 9GB disc.

I don't think you can burn an ISO while compressed... otherwise you'd have magically got rid of 4Gb permanently somehow...

Even so, 6.6Gb will fit on some DVDs.

I was thinking about that, but I havent found a single pack of 9gb discs that's not 50 or 100, and I have no other images that are this big. Is it even possible to do this?

8.5 gig and cheap.

Damn. I was hoping I'd be able to avoid buying something like that for ONE disc. I guess not...

Nearly every drug store has DL discs, you only need one. You could also invest in Toast and spand the image over two discs.
