Mea culpa, I failed to mention that the individual file cannot be spread over different media. After archiving to DVD I than catalog the photos on a Windows machine using Portfolio. My photographer will get calls years later from brides wanting a certain picture or two. Using Portfolio she can call up the picture and it will request the specific DVD be installed. I am archiving photos that are in .jpg, .dng (digital negative), .crw (canon raw), etc. Some of the .dng files are 26MB each and the .jpg are between 5 and 8MB each. I guess the brides like the details (bigger must be better) ;-) I did google dirsplit and I did not see if you are able to maintain file integrity. As I said earlier, K3B is a very good tool for my purposes.
