Thats exactly, what I am doing and thats why I was a bit puzzled that Peter recommended to put all 20000 files into the bundle. Perhaps I've misinterpreted Peter Tiemo

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.
