How to burn >4.7GB to DVD backup?

I've recently lost a number of my original DVDs in a house move. I'd like to backup some of the packages I have installed on my PC, incase I suffer from any hard drive problems in the future.

The problem I have is that many of the programs are greater than the 4.7GB max storage on the blank DVD. Some of the programs I have are up to 20GBs. One came originally on 5 DVDs.

The first problem would be, can I simply make an image file and burn to disc a program that is already installed? Second problem is what program would you recommend using to then burn to DVD, which will allow continuation over more than 1 DVD disc?

Currently I use Nero but when I've tried this it keeps throwing up an error message that the DVD disc is too small.

Any advice appreciated.
