Ah, but why? I've just about given up on optical storage (although I sometimes wonder about Blu-Ray). As a terabyte of storage can now be bought for around $120 (or less), why bother with trying to organise your external storage into chunks that fit onto one DVD; just get another hard drive and make duplicates of everything. That's what I did a month or so back - replicated my current 500GB external drive with an identical unit. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
