How do you split video/audio files so you reduce the file size and make lots of files out of one file? Is there anyway so you add something to the end the file so it looks like it's a complete video file?

If this is VB question, please re-phrase it....if it is a general one then you could use Winzip...
I think he wants to do what WinRAR can do: break a single file into many.
It depends on what format. For an MPEG-1 I think you can just cut the file anywhere and it will play. AVIs, being the tricky and deprecated beasts that they are can be a bit tricky.
If you don't want the VB approach then use iFilmEdit for chopping and joining MPEGs. :)
Splitting video files is different than splitting common files. For common files, you just read the file in binary mode and split the actual data. For video files, it should allow the user to new the actual video in each splitted file (smaller one). That's kinda hard 'cause you can't just play the splitted file because it does not have any "EOF".
MP?G and MP3 files can be split and joined anywhere. AVIs have to have a specific beginning and ending. I put a little demo on my site http://www.sopon.net right at the top for joining files.
