What's the best way to backup to dvd?

Hi, I'm looking to backup my mp3 collection (50gig or so) to dvds. I'll have to tar it all because some of the filenames are too long and a few have strange accents. What would people suggest is the best way to go about doing this? I guess I need to find the best way of creating a series of corre
