I have a set of files which total about 12 GB, which I would like to burn to a few DVDs. I could manually try to "bucket" things, but it would be nice if there was a piece of software which could put enough files on the first DVD until it runs out, then puts more on another DVD, etc.

Does such a tool exist?

Check out Size Me

SizeMe makes it possible to scan a directory and compare it to how many floppy/zip/CD-R/DVD-discs you need. (Many calls it spanning or span of elements over a medium). It tries to fill each disc up as much as possible, and gives you the result on each disc

If you don't want to use an archiver, here's a list of programs that will do what you want. I haven't used any of these except Burn to the Brim, and that was several versions and years ago.

WinRAR if you're using WIndows will split the archives up to a DVD size, CD size, Floppy disk, or any other size you wish

It won't split files though. It only allows splitting of archives, which means you'd have to copy all the DVDs back to your disk before unarchiving anything. – Billy ONeal Sep 17 '11 at 0:09
You can unarchive from any piece of thr archive... It will simply ask for the DVD with the files you want to extract – Luke Sep 17 '11 at 6:23
