The data in this case consistes of thousands of photos in various |
| 10 |
formats in a structured directory system. |

It would be good not to split a single top level directory across 2 |
| 13 |
DVD. In fact I guess that would be nearly a requirement else one |
| 14 |
might have to mount more than one DVD to view a single directory and |
| 15 |
would never know which ones. |

So sonething smart enough to judge the sizes of dierctories and put |
| 18 |
only as much as the DVD will hold but not splitting a directlry. |
