Calculate number of CD/DVD needed to burn files
« on: March 16, 2008, 06:50 AM »
I once found a program which will help you calculate how many cd/dvds you will need to burn a given numbers/size of files but i forgot the program name. Does anyone here know what's the program name because now i am in need of it  :)

Can't you just drag the files into a CD Writing package and let it tell you how many it will need? I was sure that Nero and Roxio support this.

Burn to the Brim is an open-source freeware program designed to make selection of files to optimally fill a CD a breeze.

Hey, personally i use two apps (one more than the other), these two apps are SizeMe http://lars.werner.no/?page_id=2 and Ignition http://www.kcsoftwares.com/index.php?ignition

I use Ignition the most, but that's only because i haven't fully checked SizeMe out yet.
