Splitting avi or mpeg files

[aboros]

I've seen this post a few times but I haven't found a solution yet.

I have a few avi and mpg files that are over 700 MB and I want to split them so I can burn them onto a cd. I have tried RZSPLIT and HJSPLIT but with both programs, the second file does not playback in Windows Media Player.

Does anyone know of a software that works properly?

Thanks,
Aaron

You can use VirtualDub to split the .AVI files and TMPGEnc to split the MPEG files...

For the avi you can also try a prog called AviSplitCalc. It will let you determine the split by filesize or by movie time.

By using this program how do I compress an already compressed DIVX file? Is that recommended. Some movies I have are just barely over 700 M and I want to compress them so I can put them on 1 cd.

I've tried using the DIVX 5.0.2 codec as well as the Fast Motion codec and it doesn't do the trick, it ends up making the file larger than the original.

Any ideas?

First of all if you re-compress an already compressed avi, the quality will suffer. If you need to make the file slightly smaller, simply cut off the credits. Or you could extract the audio, resample at a lower bitrate, and mux it back again.

Cutting the credits is a good idea, though having them would of course be nice.

How do I remux the audio?

Thanks for the ideas.
