Hi,
My HTPC is dying (4 years old) and since I love my new Macbook Air I wonder if I could buy Mac Mini to replace it. The playing side is not a problem (for now), but I need help on backing up side. Normally I would back up all of my DVDs and most of them are DVD9 (double layers). It'd be too expensive if I backed them all on blank DVD9s so I split it to 2 DVD5s (single layer). In Windows this is easy. I use WinRAR to split it to match DVD space, then I use Nero to burn it. I just use Mac for a month. I love it. But I don't know about how to burn with a certain speed (I normally burn DVD at half of disc speed) & how to split archive for a certain size. Please recommend me apps for such tasks.
