[Techtalk] splitting files in dir to make ISO

I have a directory full of files worth 1.3GB in size.
Now, I need to make ISO (700MB) (mkisofs) each to burn
them in a cd (cdrecord). I was wondering if I could
split the total files in the directory so that I could
get 2 or 3 ISOs' which I can burn later.

Do I need to write a sh script or is there any other
smarter way of doing this?

sample (dummy) sh script
----------------

for i in DIR
 do
    split in half
    mkisofs
done

TIA
