300 Divx files to DVD backup? |
|
|
Ok I have about about 300 divx files on a 250gig hard drive. I want to
back them up to DVDs. I dont care if they play in a dvd player, i just
want them to play on a computer after i back them up. This will take
about 50 DVDs. I am looking for the fastest way to do this. All I want
to do is create one project then put a new disk in eveytime the first
one is done.
I have nero 6. If I open nero and select create a DVD then add all 300
files to the disk, will nero ask me for a new disk everytime it is done
burning one?
I dont want to have to create a new project for each disk. This would
take forever... And I dont want to do a regular backup because then I
will have to restore the whole backup just to watch one movie.
Any ideas on the best or fastest way to do this.

Sort of a common problem I have, but I use in Linux. |
What I do is make sub-directories, and move files to a sub-directory until
it contains about 4.6 GB (or less) (not 4.7GB, you need space for the ISO
filesystem too).
Then I have a script that burns that sub-directory to DVD.
In Linux it is easy to get size of a subdirectory with the command
du name_of_dir
Biggest challenge is to find matching files to get just the right size in
each dir.
It is a mathematical challenge to write an algo that does best fit, if I had
to do it all the time I would automate that part too. |

From the command line (DOS or CMD) go to your
\PROGRAM FILES\AHEAD\NERO
directory. Type NEROCMD /?
Copy down all the options.
Write a script or batch file to handle the burns.
