first time: how 2 split avi

[hacker_on_fire]

i have created my first full rip, before i only ripped certain sections. For the first time i am faced with the question of:

how to split the avi in half, so i can fit it over 2 cd's?

also should i convert the 2 files after to mp4 for any reason?

thanx

This question has been asked and answered countless times, in these forums, it's also covered by any decent GKnot guide.

ok, but i dont know if i should convert the avi to mp4?

I wouldn't do that, the mp4 fileformat currently offers some very limited features, like you have to use aac audio, and it can only be played back with a few players, and I'am not even sure it's possible with divx3.11 streams.
