**Burn To The Brim** is a highly efficient archiving utility designed to solve the classic subset-sum (bin packing) optimization challenge. It intelligently selects and groups files and directories (documents, high-fidelity media, or raw back-ups) to optimally fill recordable Blu-Rays, USB drives or custom-capacity storage drives. By recursively scanning your designated folders, BTTB matches item sizes to your media capacity, finding a near-perfect selection in milliseconds and an absolute perfect packing configuration in just a few seconds. Burn to the Brim 4.0.0 introduces state-of-the-art machine learning semantic coherence logic to BTTB's classical packing algorithms.
