What software might I use to automagically split the data into DVD sized
chunks and write it to a DVD ?
It would be nice if it didn't put half of one dir on one DVD and the
second half on another. I know this will happen with any dir that is
larger than a DVD, but it would be nice if it didn't do that for the
rest.

The just-released 0.2.0 version still has a couple of bugs. The --test
option does not prevent disc burning. You may also have to
edit /etc/discspan.ini to reduce the max size spec for a DVD blank by
10-12M to prevent overflows. I've learned that not all DVD-Rs are the
same size. All DVD+Rs appear to be, and should burn faster.
Hope this helps.
