Hacking Help using DVD to store games

[Brigand]

Hi guys, so I recently softmodded a Wii and seeing as though both my USB and SD card are pretty small, I'd like to be able to store some games on a DVD. This is namely for use with the emulators VBA GX, SNES9x GX and FCE GX. I checked their pages on WiiBrew, and it looks like its possible. Problem is, I'm a complete n00b at burning DVDs, I've never had any use for it up until now. WiiBrew says "ROMs can be burned to a DVD-/+R (4.7GB max size & ISO 9660 file format)" I have a 4.7GB DVD-RW, but I'm at a loss for how to format it as ISO 9660, and through a bit of trial and error (mostly error) I now know that Windows 7 is unable to do this by itself. Is there a recommended program I should be using? Anyone willing to walk a n00b through a step-by-step guide on getting this working? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question, but I really don't know what I'm doing.

Are you located somewhere that flash memory is still expensive? Because it'd be way easier to just upgrade your SD or flash drive. All that extra wear and tear on your Wii's DVD drive can't be good for it.

Grab a Program called imgburn and Burn at 4X this will guarantee it will be burned correctly.

Use DVD-R Discs. You can try DVD +R.

DVD-RW Discs maybe a pain to read.

@Monty Kensicle no, I live in a very rural area. We don't really have any place that sells USBs/SD cards, meaning that I need to travel a fair way out of town if I want something like that, and making a trip like that solely for that isn't worth it due to the cost of fuel. Postage takes ages too. On top of that, I kind of just wanted to learn something new (:
@asnka and @CORE thanks guys

Also make sure your Wii allows dvd backups. Some models won't work.
