Pro tip: If you own the disc, you can rip and compress it yourself using CleanRip (on Wii) and CISO Tool (on PC). This is the safest, most legal method.

A standard Wii disc holds approximately 4.7 GB of data (single-layer) or up to 8.5 GB (dual-layer). Call of Duty: Black Ops is a larger game, typically occupying around 4.2 GB in raw ISO format.
