Packing program for efficiently grouping series on DVDR
Posted: Mon Dec 06, 2004 5:42 am
I figured that some people on AniDB might find this useful.
I wrote a quick Perl program to aid in the packing of anime series onto various media (DVDR in particular). It generates a list of file / folder groups that fit nicely on DVD together. It requires Perl, so you can install Active Perl if you don't have it.
Just copy the .pl file to the directory with the files / folders you want to pack and run it. It will generate a file called "Packing Report.txt" with information about how to pack them. It lists the total size of that bin, the wasted space, efficency of that bin, and the files and folders to put in the bin.
Sample output

For any code junkies out there: I know it's not 100% optimized code-wise, but I don't care.
