I have written something similar. It looks at a bunch of folders in a
folder and finds the best fit that is just less than the size of the DVD
that I want to burn them to. The logic I follow is a bit hard to explain
here. It is in APL+Win 7.2. I don't think it will load under version 5. So
I've sent you PDF printouts of the two main functions. They are amply
commented.
