Interesting discussion here. It is possible to make an 8GB app bundle,
since the files inside the bundle are still individual files. It isn't a
good idea to include 8GB of videos in a stack. I wouldn't include all
8GB of files in one installer, since the installer is basically one big
stack (which runs completely indepenently of any other files). I would
put the files in a separate folder on the dmg and write a script that
copies the files from the folder to the preferred destination. Such a
script could be started from Installer Maker.
Kind regards,

Hi Peter,
thats interesting. Right now, I pack the 20000 video files (total 8 GB) in
10 zip files on DVD and store them when installing in a users choice
location on HD. I would have never thought it would be a good idea to create
one big 8GB app bundle. Do you think this would be a good idea? Wouldn't
this affect the loading time and memory requirement of the app? I always
thought that if you start an app, the whole bundle is loaded into memory.

the main reason for me to use installer maker is the feature, to call
a program after the installer has finished (which makes a second part
of installation, extraction and copying 20000 videos from 10 zip
files). I don't know, how I could realize this with the classic "drag
and drop from DMG" paradigm.
Hi Tiemo,
Don't forget that .DMG files are already compressed. I would normally
recommend simply shipping your 20000 videos as separate files within your
app bundle.
