Burn Data Disc

Anon-fe04a256cf · Oct 22, 2019

I am using BurnAware Free to Burn a Folder with Photos.

I am using DL DVDs and it says there is not Enough Space on the Disc.
How do I get it to Span the Folder over many DL DVDs?

I looked all over the Settings.

There is also this software which is also free and can burn dvd's and cd's. Here is the link https://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/pin/7110/burning-software/burning-studio-free

First all your photos should not be in one ginormous folder! I sort my photos in trips or dates or occasions. Then I don't have a huge folder than needs to span. I have burned data CDs of lots of pictures and haven't run out of space yet.

No one wants to search through one enormous folder on a DL DVD to find a picture. Trust me, you'll do much better if you start sorting into folders with different names.

I have over 500 slides that I'm scanning and converting to jpegs then burning the jpegs so I can throw the slides away.
I have these slides sorted into 20 folders. Those 20 folders will fit on a CD that holds 700MB.

After that project is done, I'll work on boxes and boxes of photos from my great grandmother, grandparents parents and me.
