A Kent Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Copying 800GB of 1-20GB video files (2000+ of them) should span across 32 25GB BDRs, instead is uses 50 discs, leaving many just over half used. Please let me know what I provide to help with addressing this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floele Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 CDBurnerXP does not split files, it only spreads them across discs (which has the advantage that you don't need any tools to put your data back together). This may lead to a large amount of unused space if you have very large files. If you send me a full list of files (just individual sizes) I can check if the algorithm does something unnecessarily stupid and can be optimised, but you will never get a perfect use of space.

A Kent Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Can I send you the project file, or do you need a dir listing? Send me your email and I will reply with either/both. As a test I tried the other option to keep files together and it used fewer discs at 47... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floele Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 A CDBurnerXP project file does not include any file sizes. You can use the command line to create a dir listing (https://www.howtogeek.com/98064/how-to-print-or-save-a-directory-listing-to-a-file/) or any other fancy tool if you have one.

A Kent Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Been computing since 1976, starting with CMS/MVS/VM, then DOS, so know how to pipe to a file, but many don't, so thanks. Attached output with identifying info removed. dirlist.txt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
