Vista - Burning across multiple DVD's

01-23-2009

Is there a way to burn a set of files, if it is larger than the size of one
DVD? I have been unable to do this: it gives the answer - to big for one
DVD, please remove some files, and try again.

It's called spanning, and you there are a number of backup utilities that
can handle this situation.

Thanks. I am assuming there is no "built in" solution then. I will Google
this, and locate a suitable program.
Thanks again.

No, Vista (nor any other version of Windows) has ever supported this
feature. You'd need a third-party add-on program.

That's correct. You have to, and have always had to, use 3rd party
utilities.
