Reader feedback: how to burn images to DVD?

Update: readers responded (thank you!). It seems that one good choice is Roxio Toast 10, which will allow selecting a folder and burning as many DVDs as are needed to hold the files, prompting the user for each disk. Also a possibility from Apple Aperture is the BurnToDisc plugin, from Blue Room Software.

Suppose I’ve just returned from a shoot with a number of cards full of images, let’s say 15GB of images per card. The goal is to now archive those images prior to any processing, a true read-only master copy on DVD, before any sorting, deleting, etc. (I might also want to archive to DVD later, but it should be the same process).

How can one conveniently burn multiple DVD disks when the size exceeds the space available on a single DVD?

I’m looking for a program so that I can point at folder(s) of any size, and have it automatically burn as many DVDs as are required to back up those folder(s). Ideally it would have some smarts in naming the volume (eg Yosemite-1_of_3 or something like that). And the ability to burn more than one copy would be a plus.

If you know of such a program for Mac OS X, please let me know.

I was hoping the Apple’s Aperture would have such a feature built-in, but I haven’t found it.
