Sizer - a simple tool to find the optimal fit on a DVD for a set of files.
Given a set of file sizes, this tool will select a subset of those sizes such that as much space as possible is used without going over a set value. I use this tool in tandem with TyTool to select a set of videos which will fill a DVD as much as possible without taking too much space.
Installation
=====================
This tool is written in Java. If you do not already have it, you can download Java from:
http://java.com/en/index.jsp
Install it as normal. If you don't like Java, feel free to write your own tool in the language of your choice. :-) The source code is included.
Place the contents of this zip file wherever you want. Let's assume you put everything in c:\util. You can then execute the Sizer with the command line:
> java -cp c:\util Sizer
Usage
=====================
Enter the file sizes, one after another. After the last one, input a ".". The tool will print out the sizes and indexes of the files that should be used for an optimal fit.
