Split folder size into multiple dvd folder's size (without spliting files)

Hello everyone,

I have a big folder in a linux server that contains dozen of big files (total folder size ~ 50 GB)

I have a couple of files of 2.5 GB and some others from 100 MB to 1 GB. (that said it's obvious that it's impossible having two 2.5 GB files in one dvd)

The purpose is to backup all files and burn them into DVD but I would like to maximize each dvd's size so I'm trying to to create a script to split that folder into a couple of folders named DVD1, DVD2, ..., DVDN but I don't have the scripting knowledge needed for this.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
