    I dont have an external hard-drive and I don’t want to buy right now.

    i have some data around 20gb - my itunes folder is around 16gb and pictures are around 20gb. I am looking for a burning software which would burn larger than 4.7gb and ask for another dvd and so on to complete the burning process .

    I have zipped my folders so there are two folders one of 16 gb and one of 19gb - I don’t want to do this manually and wondering if there are any such software out there I could use.

    Thanks for your help in advance :)

    Toast does this. It's a little pricey though.

    Not sure if there's a cheaper solution.

    Of course, manually is free.

    I think Disco will also do disc spanning. I'll stick with Toast though.

    iTunes will burn your music to many dvd's automatically. Just go to file > back up to disc. The pics, you will have to do them manually or use toast, which is very expensive.
