CD burning

[TifaLockhart7]

how do you burn one LARGE file (larger than a 700mb cdr) into 2 or more cds?

i am using nero 6
i am trying to burn a 1000mb mpeg file.
if you have a different software to recommend, recommend it..
thanx in advance..

First off, you need a CD-R capable of being overburned. I don't think they make CD-Rs that are easily over burned to 1GB though.

Next, you need a CD-RW drive that can actually overburn CD-Rs as well.

Your best bet is to split the file into 2 pieces and burn it onto 2 CD-Rs or just burn a DVD.

I had just the program that would do what you wanted and then I deleted it because I'd never used it x

Googling brings up this program: http://www.dekabyte.com/filesplitter/

i used that filesplitter program before. its kinda easy to use. even the without installing software does the job!

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

it wont let me burn, i think it becuase when it splits it, it turns the file into a .exe file

wutz wrong?

[Shoeberto]

Are you trying to burn it as a data CD (for backup purposes) or VCD (for video playback)? File splitters would only be useful if you want to burn it as data. If you wanted to do a VCD, you'd have to break the MPG into two separate MPG files. I think VirtualDub might be able to handle that.

[Tifa's Real Lover(really]

so i jus rename it as .MPG ??

[Shoeberto]

No. With that file splitting program, it splits the physical data into two separate files that can be put back together on their own. To burn a VCD of an MPG, you need to split them based on the frames of the video, not the individual bytes of data.

Virtualdub can't output mpg though, last time I checked

Why are you burning an mpg anyway? Compress it with a better codec like xvid or h264

[syun_ukiya]

use tmpg encoder and cut it in two.

My bro tried using that program and all it did was make it messed up...-_- But thanks anyway, Rubah. ^^
