I've got about 15 gigs of data I need to burn to DVD, so of course I need an app that will span a single burn project onto multiple discs, as in, I insert one DVD it fills it up, I put another in, it fills it up, and so on until all the files are burned. I tried nero, but didn' see any way to do this, since it spit the disc out and said to put one in with a 15,000 meg capacity.

TBH, I hate WinRar, I wish there was another program that would read rar files, but I do think you are right. WinRar seems like it would be the easiest and best choice to do what you need

I do not believe so, but you could make the files all rar files and name them something like DVD1, DVD2, and so on, it will also break up the files so that a 7 GB file will fit onto two DVDs. Of course you know this, cause I think you told me a long time ago, lol

I would've done that, but the person recieving these DVDs is no where near knowledgable enough to put a split rar back together. I bit the bullet and just did a drag and drop over into 4 DVD projects in Nero and burned each one.

If you try to put on too much data on one DVD in WinOnCD 6 it asks you something like "Do you want to span the data over several disks?". Actually I never used this feature but it seems WinOnCD could serve your needs...

ZipGenius is a free program that reads rars but you can't make them.

ZipGenius (See above), Total Commander, and my personal favorite: IZArc.

Because I assumed platform wouldn't matter when burning mp3's to Data DVDs.

wow, I assumed you meant that there had to be some order to the files or that the files were over one DVD in size. Burning 4 DVDs is not exactly a strenuous project, I know, I've burnt 5 for all my music, movies and pictures when I reformatted. You are lazy.

actually I was just thinking about that as I reset my iPod. My iPod is being a little bitch, I reset it and every time I try to sync the iPod it logs me off after about 100 songs.

Hmm, I doubt its an iPod issue, since I doubt an mp3 player could log you out of Windows. Perhaps you have a virus or some apyware thanks to IE?

yes i am sure it is EQ isnt it. After all just after restoring my iPod to factory it starts restarting, not logging off my bad, my computer. I initially thought my screen saver was fucking it up so I turned it off, basic XP screensaver nothing fancy or CPU intensive and was working within Windows and it rebooted my computer again.

I then went to the iPod forums on Apple and it seems I am not the only one havin issues with the 02-22-2005 updating software. I am taking their advice and am going to ignore your crap as that is all it is. A rather poor save for Apple and even sorrier stab at Windows. You are so sad :icon19:

Seeing as how the 2/22 update does nothing to 4th gen iPods, sicne the firmware inside is just the previous one. That and I enjoy how you revive a dead thread to whine about your screwup whivh has no bearing on the topic of the thread.
