I'm completely ignorant to how such programs work, but couldn't he try using something like WinZip or Winrar to compress the individual files, and then try burning them to a DVDR (if they were shrunk down enough to fit)? He'd totally lose all ability to create a self-booting disk if he did that, since the files would need extracted to be useful... but would that work?

...Now that I think about it, there's no logic in such an approach! Even if he fit everything on to one DVDR, it'd be at the expense of giving himself more work to do later. I couldn't delete this message, so I'll just shut up now...
