Thanks for your answer cfajohnson, however I forgot to mention that I cannot split my files, in other words I just want to divide a big folder and arrange their files into multiple mini folders (max mini folder size about 4.3 GB - dvd size)

Example: Lets say that I have 5 files in a folder:

folder
file1 2.5 GB
file2 2.5 GB
file3 100 MB
file4 500 MB
file5 2.0 GB

The script will check files in the initial folder and will create and move the necessary into new folders (max size about 4.3 GB)

Desired output in this case would be:
folder1
- file1 2.5 GB
- file3 100 MB
- file4 500 MB

folder2
- file2 2.5 GB

folder3
- file5 2.0 GB


Any help? Thanks
