I am need help finding some software (freeware preferred but
shareware/payware are OK).

I need this software to automatically process a Windows directory that
has several gig's worth of files, and split them into target
directories of specified size, to make burning to 4.7 gig DVDRs
easier.

Here's an example of what I need. This software claims to do what I
need, but it doesn't work very well, plus it only creates directories
that are CDR sized.

I need help finding a similiar software tool or package, that's a
little more robust than the above freeware app.

Clarification of Question by astrolab-ga on 12 Jul 2006 11:57 PDT

What I am looking for is not a tool that splits one huge file into
manageable chunks -- what I am looking for is a tool that splits a
directory with (for example) 16 gigs worth of files into 4 new
directories of 4 gigs, thereby preparing them for DVDr Burning.

Nero BackIt Up seems to answer this.
I can process to CD DVD or DL DVD.
It is part of Nero 6 or better and comes packaged with many DVD drives.

You can get a working 30 day trial of Nero 7 here

Dear Astrolab.

The Nero Back It Up does just what you requested in your clarification at 11:57.
My comment was at 10:24.

Have you downloaded the trial to see if Nero meets your needs?

Yes - Nero 7's BackItUp appears to do the trick. I am running a test
right now and it seems to do what I needed. Go ahead and officially
answer this question canadianhelper-ga for credit.

Hello Astrolab...

I am not a Google Answer Researcher, I am a commentor and thus
FREE...I just help out where I can.

You can close off the question and I believe Google will take $.50 of
your proposed fee ... use the rest to buy the full version of Nero!

Glad I could help.
