Filling disks efficiently

Hi:

I have a need to burn a dozen, to 4 dozen, files at a time to CDs on a regular basis. Files range from 50mb to 600mb in size.

I would like to write a script that looks at the file sizes, and then writes me a list of what files to burn to the same disk, so that a minimum number of CDs are used. (Hmmm, starting to sound like a "story problem"....)

If anyone can clue me in as to the best logic strategy for this, I would appreciate it. Is there a general phrase that describes this type of problem?

Thanks in advance,

asd
