splitting a movie into 2 parts?

[johnyyz]

does anyone out there know of a program that will split a movie(divx/avi) that is say 750 mb into two seperate parts. I have a few movies i want to put into svcd format so i can play them on a dvd player. I tried using NERO program but it said the movie was too large for 1 cd-r, so i guess i have to split it into 2 parts. I am a complete rookie on this so i need a program fairly easy to use.

I am assuming the NERO program automatically converts avi/divx to vcd, yes or no ?

Thanks in advance, john

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").

A better way is to convert the whole avi into SVCD using TMPGEnc and cut the final MPEG file with TMPGEnc. Gives you much better quality than Nero.
Take a look at http://www.vcdhelp.com
