Well, i really don't care whether or not it's released on the day halo 2 comes out (although i DO know quite a few Halo 2 fanboys), any release date change for the earlier would be nice :D
It creates the files, then you use an external program (such as Nero burning rom) to burn the files. Then, you run the .exe from the first disk and it should back them up. I haven't tested this, but the exe that the backup creates started up for me. I'm not going to backup / burn them until Half...
Just finished backing up. It creates its own .exe to install the files and everything! All the files are perfect sizes for the disks too. Here is a screenshot of the folder it created:
