How To Break Large Video File Into 2 Files?

[jaideeguy]

I have a large video file in avi format that I would like to split/divide into 2 smaller files so that I can then burn them onto 2 DVDs. Any suggestions for a dummy like me??

You might try doing a google search for "avi file splitter" or just "file splitter".

I use AVIsplit Classic, freeware available for download at http://www.bobyte.com/

VirtualDub. Set both video and audio to "direct stream copy" so it doesn't re-encode the movie, select parts you want and save as avi or as segemented avi.

downloaded avi splitter classic and entered the video file and error message was 'cannot split ODML AVI file' ....now what to do??

OK, now I downloaded virtualdubmod and I think that I'm a bit over my head......definately not for dummies. I'll take a break and try again after a beer....

SolveigMM AVI Trimmer is freeware and very easy to use.

VirtualDub is however the most flexible and powerful software to use though. A little bit of a learning curve though. Try Solveig and let us know how you like it.

I can 2nd VirtualDub. There should be guides on Google on how to cut .avis with it. Once you know how, only takes a minute or so.
