What is the easiest way to split large volume of data in multiple DVD?

I have 80 GB data in many folders and sub folders. No file is bigger than 2 GB. Most of the files are between 500 KB to 900 MB.

I need to distribute them in multiple DVD. Is there any software to help me doing it without zipping it and without changing the folder structure.

Not sure what you mean exactly by "zipping it." If you mean compressing it, winrar has an option to not compress, just store, for this exact reason. It just copies the data to rar files and doesn't compress it. I'm assuming you don't want to zip it up because of how bloody long it would take for 80 gigs. To do this, right click the folder and "add to archive". Under compression, select "store". This has the benefit of preserving your file system as well.



Edit: don't forget to set the "split archives" to make sure they fit on a dvd!What is the easiest way to split large volume of data in multiple DVD?
Install winrar, (no need to buy because winrar also works after expiring), right click on the folder which is needed to be split (any size) and click add to archive. A dialog box will appear, in the box "split to volumes" write the size of the parts to be made.
