Easy way to burn 30gb of files onto DVD

The way you are doing it is the best method I can think of. Your going
to have to sit there anyway in order to put in new dvd's every so often.

Hi, I need a program that can burn 30gb files on upto 7 DVD's

The files range from 200mb to 700mb each.
Is there a program out there that will organise the files into disc
sets so I don't have to sit here moving files into 4.7gb sets?

At the moment, I have to make 7 folders and then keep juggling the
files around to make them fit onto discs.

Any ideas?

It's freeware and it sounds like this will help you out. I've used it and
it works great.

What values do I need to enter for a DVD?
It asks for:

Cluster size (byte)
Media size Clusters and Megabyte
File system size: Clusters and Megabyte
Allowed waste size: Clusters and Megabyte

 

I guess I should have looked first... I have used it several times for CD's
but I have not tried it on DVD's yet, I just assumed it would work, same
concept. You can customize everything, cluster size, media size etc... BUT
I have looked high and low for something that would read the cluster size of
my DVD and I could not find anything, the closest I found was a freeware
called DVD Identifier. With DVD Ident you can get everythinf BUT the
existing cluster size, I guess you will have to look around, I will as well.
I'll let you know if I find anything.

 

Use WinRar

You can specify how large each segment of the spanned archive is to be.

Run WinRar, click "Wizard", Check "Create new archive", Next, Select the
folders you want, "OK", Give it a name, Next, the next option allows you to
select the size of each segment of the span. You can select up to 700 meg
for each spanned segment.

You'll have to spend a hour or so familiarizing yourself with the program,
but you can create an archive of any size. 30 gig is not a problem.
The only problem is how much free hard drive space you have to create the
spanned archive.

When WinRar has created the span, drag & drop the segments to your DVD
burner program until the DVD is full, continue with the next DVDs until all
the segments have been burned. By being compressed, it will also take less
DVDs as well.

Although you can create one 30 gig spanned archive, you might want to limit
it to the size of one DVD. That way, you can expand the archive directly
from the DVD to the hard drive without copying the segments to the hard
drive first.

Since you have seven folders, I'd make one spanned archive for each of the
seven folders.

Just make sure that each folder is around 5 gig. WinRar is going to compress
it so it will end up being smaller than 4.7 gig. NOTE: If they're video or
audio files, they're ALREADY compressed, so WinRar won't be able to compress
them much more.

 

I want the files to be intact thought.
The files are mostly movies, some 750mb, some 700mb, some 200mb and
some are 400mb.

Is there a programe that will move the files for me without zipping or
compressing them?
