Auto Burn to Multiple Discs

[jdxx76]

Trying to back up a bunch of photos and videos to DVD. Does IMGBURN automatically put files onto multiple discs? I've got a folder that's 18+Gigs...Everytime I tell imgburn to burn it despite the fact that the current disc doesn't have enough space...I get an error.

 

Failed to reserve track...No more track reservations allowed...invalid field in CDB.

 

I guess, first of all, can imgburn burn this large folder into multiple discs? If so, how?

 

Thanks!

You'll have to manually split your data in 4.38 GiB chunks before you can use ImgBurn to burn it to media. Or you could use one of the many available backup tools and let it do everything for you

 

As for the failed to reserve track error, please post the log from that burn attempt (you can find it at Help/ImgBurn Logs).

The reserve track error will be due to you trying to overburn 18gb onto a 4.37gb disc - i.e. it's expected.

 

As mmalves said, ImgBurn doesn't span discs, use a proper backup tool or split the photos into folders @ ~4.3gb in size.
