Hello all!

I have several(300ish) files ranging from 1GB->1.6GB. I need an automator script( i assume), thatll go through all 300 files, and sort them into 4.35GB folders, so i can burn them to dvd.

I know TOAST will span across X number of discs, but id like to have a 2-3 files on each DVD instead of a TOAST compression...

is there anything thatll run through all these files, and match them up with eachother, cut/paste them to folder #1-100, and do it as efficient as possible?

ive just begun to play with automator, and i have a simple rename function working, but this sounds a lot tougher!

Toast does not compress unless you tell it too.
