SizeMe makes it possible to scan a directory and compare it to how many floppy/zip/CD-R/DVD-discs you need. (Many calls it spanning or span of elements over a medium). It tries to fill each disc up as much as possible, and gives you the result on each disc.

Your program is a nice idea. It drives me always crazy to find the best fit for a DVD. But I could not find a way to take folders from different partitions. For instance I have data on Drive E,F,G. Some folders of each drive should be burned on DVDs - but not a DVD for each folder/drive. Is there a way to to this? Otherwise you always have to copy those folders to a new partition what is impossible because of the size.

Hi I have download your sizeme progam but when I run it its show that v1.8.4 build: 1232 is availble if I click on it to download the newversion it still download the older version
January 8th, 2006 at 07:40:54
This program is awesome, the only idea I have is: for folders that are too big to fit on the CD/DVD, can there be an option to split it up so that folder is on multiple CD’s/DVD’s instead of just not being added at all? I love the new ISO creation. I will donate however much you want to add this, just let me know.

Fantastic program! I have been doing this manually for way too long.
I would like to see more features though.
- Option to disable the system context menu’s.
- Ability to select multiple disks to move to the “To be burned file. Instead of right clicking each one.
- An option to change the default directory of the “To Be Burned” folder. So I can automatically batch move all the files to another drive for example.
- Option to change the move to directory names I.E. in options you could put “DVD %d” and the directories would be “DVD 1, DVD 2, DVD 3, etc”. The default would be “Disc%d (%p%%)” showing “Disc1 (98%)”.You could also add other variables like time and date.
- Option to set an offset from the disk number I.E. Instead of numbering the directories starting at disk 1 you could get it to start from disk 20

hello,
good idea with your program. I was looking for something like that and it is quite unique!!
so i tried it today but when i drag a disk somewhere it told me “file not found” .. except if there is only file and no sub dir in my disk ?? is it a bug or is it me…
and I have a stupid question… is it be possible to have a comparaison just “in directory name order” without any space optimisation… I know it may seem stupid but could be quite usefull in certain circumstance…
Thanks a lot in advance for your answer.
February 2nd, 2006 at 01:52:03
Great program! I have a couple suggestions. The first is a repeat of what somebody else said and I was wondering if you’ve made any progress on it.
1) It would be cool if the software would break a large subfolder across multiple discs. I realize this would require the software to scan and retain data additional levels deep but I think you could safely limit this to 5 levels and it would work well for most people.
2) My second suggestions is to have an option to make the software believe the folder I selected is the root of the virtual discs. Right now when I select something from c:\folder1\folder2, this is what I see on the disc as well. I’d prefer folder2 to become the root of the new disc.
Thanks.

February 6th, 2006 at 00:20:52
I would love this program if it would only search down more then one directory level at a time. I have a large directory with many small file and many sub dir that I would like to backup to DVD but as soon as it hits a dir with more then a single dvd the software acts like it is a file that is to big.
almost great

Nice idea. It has yet to do anything correctly on my
HP 873n Media Center computer. Locks up every time trying
to make iso files. I used the iso feature because I was
unable to drag and drop into the Veritas ‘record now’

Just one question: Is there a way to activate a double click when selecting a directory and perform an scan on it instead to right click and select scan this directory?
Cheers mate!
March 15th, 2006 at 21:39:46
Great job, but I second Marcelo’s request to use a double-click to drill down (and scan) a subdirectory. Not sure if a tree control would help you there, but it might. I’ve also gotten the same error that Ben ran into, usually on system-protected directories.

any idea when this will become available?
need a beta testor?
Thanks
March 20th, 2006 at 06:40:35
Jon: I don’t program for Mac so I guess that is out of the question
But I’ve seen an article written on the subject. It uses Java and is opensource. Check out this link: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/index.php?view=dvd_cd_optim
Maybe you can figure out a solution that is usable for the public. Let me know and I’ll link users to your location.
March 20th, 2006 at 06:43:33
Keith: The v2.0 solution is on its way. But it is not a backupfunction for your mp3 collection. It is rather a playlist generator for your portable mp3-player. But with some creativity you can use to backup certain artists, genres and so on from your whole collection. Wait and see, I guess you’ll find it useful. Thnx for asking on the betatesting, but I already have 2-3 betatesters that removes a couple of bugs for me.

Dear Lars:
I used SizeMe to back up a large 20MB folder. The program seemed to work just fine and it created ISO files that I then burnt onto DVDs. How do I now get the data off the ISO DVD’s? Nothing I have will open the DVDs.
Thanks
April 3rd, 2006 at 17:15:56
Richard: You don’t need to burn the ISO-files directly. Either you drag’n'drop the files into a compilation, or you create a ISO-file and burn that (in another way). In Nero you have to “open” a ISO-file and Nero will burn it like it was files. ISO-creation is just a “xtra” feature.
April 11th, 2006 at 00:25:04
What a great tool. I´d been looking for it for years!
Thank you.
April 19th, 2006 at 01:15:48
Hi Lars,
great program. Thank you. One snag can’t get around is that spreading 25,000 digital images into 20 DVDs cant keep names predominantly sorted. The files are named in numerical progression. 00001 to say 20000 but I cannot get your application to batch say 01001 to 02000 into disc 2 etc. If I could turn of comparison style altogeter and it allowed for tollerance of a few KB between discs as I have an overhead build into my custom value anyway then no reordering wshould ever be needed? Ronan

lars,
excellent program but i agree with ronan’s post from april 19. i have gigs of music sorted by artists in folders i play in my car. i like to mark them A through F and whatever but the program groups them randomly.
keep up the great work.

All works great but one thing so far. When taking files that are greater than 2GB and making DVD’s, I found the Standard ISO is the wrong format for them. It should be UDF ISO format. Other than that it works fine.

If i rescan sometimes the size is listed but other dirs have ? in them. I can not get a full list with out some of the dirs showing ? insted of total size. What is wrong here?

Thnaks for the great software
January 2nd, 2007 at 15:09:10
Doesn’t run correctly on Win2003 64bit, the setting wizard is a tiny window with all buttons overwriting each other.
Also window doesn’t resize, drag icon at corners or sides never appear. You can only restore or maximize, no other options.
Display generally messed up, so it’s hard to tell which to click on, or what it is supposed to do (again, under Win2003 64bit).
January 5th, 2007 at 01:50:13
Please make it support unicode.
This program is good but not unicode supported.
I have many Asian stuff and I like to keep their original Asian name.
SizeMe just can’t acquire Asian name and shows lots of ???
Of course SizeMe can’t count those files or directories named in Asian characters.
Asian group is huge and there are lots of interesting Asian stuff on the internet.
SizeMe will be more famous over the world if you could make it supports unicode.

Great Program!!! Would be great to see a feature that would allow you to instead of breaking up the data by size, to break it up by Number Of Files. I do alot with clipart and images and the first thing I do is put a certain # of files into dirs and then use sizeme to put them on dvd’s………..

March 13th, 2007 at 21:05:22
I think the idea fantastic but there’s a big lack of the following feature : you should select which directories you want to scan ! It could be possible to don’t take the subfolders too …
But it’s a really good soft
PS: ’scuse my english, I’m french :-s
April 4th, 2007 at 14:16:53
It would be exremely usefull if it were possible to add multiple directories to the scan. Otherwise a great piece of time saving software.

Hello Lars, I hope that the development of multiple directories is still in progress! =) thank you for the great app!!
April 23rd, 2007 at 13:22:31
This program would be brilliant if it just supported recursion. When doing backups, My Documents is often over 4.3GB so SizeMe cant cope.
May 2nd, 2007 at 22:30:56
Excellent app. Are you still actively developing it? I don’t see any comments from you more recent than a year ago. I donated anyway!
June 22nd, 2007 at 09:04:24
[…] But what if you didn’t care about organization? What if you had 43GB of files that you just wanted to burn as efficiently as possible, with every disc as full as data as can be? Well, if that’s what you want, look no further than my new best friend SizeMe. This program couldn’t be much simpler, folks: after installing it, you open the app and choose your archive media from a drop-down box (media supported include floppy, 250MB zip disk, 650 and 700MB CD-R, and DVD 5, 9, 10 and 18). You then tell SizeMe which folder you want scanned. Before you can say “done!”, the program will have made a complete list of the most efficient way to burn your discs. You now have two options: if your disc burning software supports drag-and-drop, you can drag “Disc 01″ of SizeMe’s results to the burning software’s layout pane and burn it to disc. However, if you’d prefer to organize now and burn later, your second option is for SizeMe to create ISO files of your stuff, which you can mount in virtual drives or burn to disc later on. SizeMe keeps the contents of subfolders together, so all of my movies with subtitles were kept intact in subfolders on DVD-R discs. About the only complaint I have with SizeMe is that there’s no way to tell it to keep files with the same name but different extension together (for example, freaks.and.geeks.s01e07.avi and freaks.and.geeks.s01e07.nfo), so my NFO files are strewn about over 9 DVD-R discs instead of being kept with the original file. But it’s a small price to pay to be able to clear out a bunch of hard drive space as quickly (and efficiently!) as possible. […]

Great Utility Lars! hopefully still under active development, can’t wait for multi-folder/split support and file extension filtering/selection. Thanks!!!

Excellent application - it took me too long to find it, but at least I found it. I am experimenting with it now and if it does I will gladly donate. I have one quick question, if I have a folder that is 8.35 GB, and is highlighted in red, and I am using DVD-5, will your application split that folder across two DVD’s?

is it possible to get it ported to Ubuntu Linux??
Thanks
April 21st, 2008 at 13:21:44
heres how to make it run in Wine in Ubuntu
install it in wine.
create a spare directory on a hdd somewhere that has enough spare space to save enough data to fill a dvd, say 4.4 gig.
call the directory for example
sizeme-output
now, fireup sizeme and point it to the directory you need sized up.
when it makes the cd listing in green, click on disc one and then right click on it and select “copy to”
point it to the directory you just created.
it will copy these files to that directory.
now fireup K3b or whatever and tell it to make a new dvd complilation and copy/paste the files from the sizeme-output directory to the K3B layout and burn away.
do this for each disc.
a little time consuming, but it works!!!
hooray for me!!!
April 27th, 2008 at 21:39:24
Lars- SizeMe is a great app and your future plans look great. But I have a problem in that I suck at math w/percentages. I can never determine how much free space is in the DVD folder. I have several folders @ between 95% & 97%, but I doubt if I will have anything elsewhere that would fill them w/o going over. I could lower the fill percentage, but that would defate the purpose of SizeMe. If I saw that a 96% folder had only 100 MB free space, I would burn the DVD. I don’t even know if “free space” for DVDs (or other media) can be added to SizeMe but it sure would help us math dummies.
Thanks

May 9th, 2008 at 15:39:13
First, many thanks for a fine program! I have helped people for free for decades with computers, programs, and tutoring math. The last is done for a donation to cancer research.
Is there a way, please, to include lower level subdirectories? I have music files organised into folders, such as “Opera”, “Country”, “Jazz”, … all on the same HD in a “Music” folder. Each folder has more subfolders. “Opera” would have one folder for each piece, with the tracks in that folder for the one piece. In order to apply your program to include all files, I would have to disorganise them. That is, instead of Mucic/Opera/Don Giovanni, I have to have Don Giovanni under “Music”, so the Don Giovanni folder is alongside Stompin’ Tom in the Music directory.
I hope this is clear. I’d like to have Music, containing Opera and Jazz, then Opera to contain its set of folders and Jazz its own set, as I do normally. Then choose Music to include all, or just Opera to include all of that. As it is, sub-subfolders are omitted so far as I can tell. So, choosing Opera would include all of that category, but choosing Music would not.
May 18th, 2008 at 03:02:15
its been a long time since this was updated, i assume the author is very busy, but if the writer released the source code to GPL at sourceforge then others could pick up the software and continue to develop it.
The author can still ask for donations for the project at sourceforge
win win for everyone !

I you try and run this program in wine in linux, it may attempt to load and the hdd will flash a but then stop.
The reason for this is
err:module:import_dll Library MFC42.DLL (which is needed by L”C:\\Program
Files\\SizeMe\\SizeMe.exe”) not found
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP60.dll (which is needed by L”C:\\Program
Files\\SizeMe\\SizeMe.exe”) not found
Looks like that app forgot to bundle two important runtime libraries.
The fix is (copy and paste each line to a shell command prompt)
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks vcrun6
The app starts ok for me then.

I’m using vista. There is one small bug. I used sizeme on a directory that had many subfolders in it. I try to delete the folders after they are burned. It is the bottom one of the subfolders that can’t be deleted each time. I get file is in use by another program error. I have to close sizeme then I can delete the folder. Can you make sizeme release the folder so it can be deleted without having to close and reopen sizeme?

Hi, I have used your software and it is a real time saver (still waiting for your backup mode though!)
I have some small suggestion tho (if you don’t mind)…
-In the Directory/filesize scanning view. Is it possible to add “..” to go to the parent folder?
-Add InfraRecorder engine (http://infrarecorder.org/). It is open source. I think it would be better than Nero.
-Add a .html or a .pdf when an Iso is complete, with the list of all the files/folder in the certain disk. Add an option to add that in the root of the project disc.
-Make renaming discs easier; instead of adding disc to the image creator and then renaming, allow renaming in main window by double clicking the name.
-Also about renaming the disc, maybe the possibility to add a default suffix for a project: instead of Disc1 Disc2, something like MainBackup1 MainBackup2
-While the backup mode is not done yet, not deleting the content window when selecting a new folder.
example.
I select a folder, Disc1 appear, but theres a folder in red named “music”.
When I double click on music, Disc 1 disappear and a new disc 1 appear, with the content of “music”.
I think it would be better in the meantime if, instead of a new disc 1, it would be separated by ——— and that the content of “music” should appear as Disc2.
I’m a programmer too, I would like to help you with the programming if possible. I really need this program for this project, and I do not have alot of cash for donations.
Good luck

I installed it on my Vista Box and was able to see the boxes in full, but my XP pro boxes both showed small windows about 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. Could see the next button and finish, but not much else. All updates to the boxes are done, and have the same version of AV on both. Any suggestions?

I second Mardurk’s feature request, Unicode support would be really nice. I have some files that include characters from other alphabets and SizeMe doesn’t handle them.

Hi… great app.. or so it seams…. I do not understand what i am ment to do with “red” directores. I scann my directory.. and most of the dirs are green and spanned across teh disks (awesome!) but then one or two dirs are red. Now what?
I can rightclick the red dir and go “scan blah blah directory” but this then makes a new set of ISOs for that dir alone?
Now what?
How do i get that “spanned” dir to also fit with the other “spanned” dirs so it is all a nice fit?

Also it seams that it only sorts the dirs by directory.. so only the “sizing” works on entire dirs.. you can not span a dir across dvds?

Why is it that when I choose a 4gb dvd it makes a 2gb ISO, and when I chose an 8gb dvd, it makes a 4gb ISO.. Something’s not right.

I have found a bug (but it’s probably in the listbox control and will just have to be worked around by you):
I scanned a folder with 2046 sub-folders in it and the list on the left seems to be erasing itself after it is drawn. When I scroll or resize it, I can see the words flickering, but it ends up blank.
Other than this small problem, I think SizeMe is a great program! Thank you so much for making it free!
I wish I could afford to make a donation…)

Tried running this on a 39Gb set of NAS files (2768 folders, 8632 files) across the network to back up to dvd. Program indicated one DVD to burn, but never showed any % and just drifted away. Left it for 30 mins to see if it was working away in the background. Can send a screen shot if it helps. Shame as it works ok otherwise

Love the program! Just discovered it after trying to fill DVDs manually….. and at low efficiency
Please can we have subfolder scanning also rather than just one directory. Most of my stuff is in nested directories.

I have gigs and gigs of photo’s I’m trying to span accross multiple dvd 5’s and Size me wont’ work since each folder is above 4.5 GB does anyone have a recommendation on a program that will do this for me, Nero will compress is and span it across different dvd’s but I need each disk readable, I don’t want to restore disks just to view the. Seems like a simple request yet I cant’ find a solution.
