[dba-Tech] Intelligent File Copy

I remember using that or something similar back in the days of floppies :-)

I've never tried it, but this looks promising:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/discfit/

Arranges a big set of files or directories in order to use the minimum number of phisycal 
media (CD, DVD, BD...) pieces. You can drag the resulting sets directly over your burning 
software (Nero, DVD-go...)
