Hi Some of my harddrives are getting full and i would like to burn the files to some cheep DVD's. Filesizes range from lets say 1Mb to 1Gb.
Ofcourse i would like to optimize the size of each DVD to be as close to 4.7Gb as possible (to save this cheep media :) ). There are plenty of software that are able to index my DVD's so sorting between disks is not a problem. Just size. What i would like to do is write a Python program that could sort my files (based on size) into chunks as close to a given storage size (DVD 4.7Gb, CD 650Mb...), and minimize the use of disks. Does anyone know of if something like this is done before in Python, that i could look at? With a couple of hundred files it should be a lot of possible combinations. So I am not lookng for something absolute, just something that could help me get a little closer to the truth :) Its the "sorting function" that i am looking for, getting filesizes and do the actual sorting of files on disk i will worry about later.
