That depends on the data, I'd say. Splitting is most likely not to be |
| 12 |
done on iso9660 level. That said, of course you can use split(1) on the |
| 13 |
ISO or large input files. But that would either corrupt the ISO so the |
| 14 |
DVDs aren't mountable (or mountable, but broken) or data that can't be |
| 15 |
read. |

In order to give a more specific advice, please tell us about the kind |
| 18 |
of data you want to put on that DVD. I remember that there were tools |
| 19 |
that calculate an optimum distribution of files of different sizes so |
| 20 |
that a given amount of media space is optimally used. Probably |
| 21 |
something in Perl, but unfortunately I don't remember... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If you want to have that for backup purposes, you're probably better |
| 24 |
off using split(1) on tar files or using RAR (which has built-in split |
| 25 |
functionality) or similar. |
