Burning larger files to DVDs

This post is so illogical. First of all, apple Superdrives use DVD-Rs, which also are 4.7GB. Dual layer media is unaviable as of now, plus required a burner that no macs ship with and only Lacie makes for the mac now. You could try stuffit, but if your file is over 5gb forget it. Try to split it or something then re-attach.

 

If you have a single file that is over that size, then you're going to have to split it - perhaps someone else on the forum would have a good suggestion for as to how to do that. However, it's rare to find a single file that big. Otherwise, just put some of the files on one DVD-R, and the rest on another. I would avoid compression, as compressing a 5+GB file will take approximately a billion years, give or take a year or two. And it most likely still won't fit.
