DVD Burning Software
Hello all,
I have a client that has a boat load of pictures. He currently backs them up on a external hard drive and also backs them up on DVDs.
He is using Ashampoo Burning Studio 18 to do the burning pictures to DVD. Currently he has to add up how much each picture uses in size so it will not go over the amount that you can burn onto a DVD which is very time consuming.
He is wondering if there is a DVD software that will only automatically tell you how many pictures you select that will burn on one DVD.
Thanks,
Kelly W.

To avoid using multiple DVDs,
consider using a Blu Ray disk for backup tasks greater than 4 Gig and less than 50 Gigs.
Standard Blu Ray Disk capacity = 25 gigs
DL Blu Ray Disk capacity = 50 gigs ($20 - $30 for ten disks)
A DL (Dual Layer) Blu Ray Burner costs about $65

This is what I was looking for...was not looking for Blu Ray software.
Since your software does not, just create a blank folder and start dropping pictures into it. Right-Click the folder and select Properties to see the current size. When you get to a point where the disc will be full, burn the images to a full disk, then wipe them out and start over again.
