splitting LARGE AVI files

[trc]

Hello everybody...

I'm a newbie who has just gotten a LARGE avi file (Star Wars!). It's too big to fit on a single CDR and I wonder if anyone could recommend a method of splitting it - or somehow compressing it to fit so that it will fit?

What works best? What do y'all use if you have this problem?

Thanks in advance, just a newbie.

What you need is an .avi splitting tool (there are enough of them to find if you will!!) or make an search true the forum!!!

Splitting with VirtualDub

Use v.1_4_10 or 1_4_9 (or 1.4D or earlier) as follows:

1)Load your original (DivX-compressed or otherwise) .AVI into VirtualDub
2) Set BOTH "Video" and "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection Start"
4) Move slider to approximate halfway point
5) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Go to next keyframe"
6) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection End'
7) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save as AVI" - Save as a new filename (e.g. "Movie1of2.avi").
8) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection Start"
9) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Move to End"
10) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection End"
11) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save as AVI" - Save as a new filename (e.g. "Movie2of2.avi").
