Spanning CD'S

[Art W.]

Hello Everyone:

I would like to know if and how I can burn over 700 mb onto 2 cd's (The same movie)? I have some MPEG's over 700 mb I would like to split them onto 2 cd's just like a movie thats to long for one dvd?

Thanks
Art

How much over 700MB? If it's only a few MB, you could just overburn it onto 1 CD.

If you still want to split it, how do you want them burnt? Do you want just a video file on each of the CDs? Do you want to make each 1 a VCD so you can play it in a DVD player?

Hi:

Some of them are over 800mb, I wouldn't mind burning them so that they can play on my dvd player?

Thanks

WinRar will compress to multiple volumes.

Perhaps all you need to do is compress and it'll fit on one.

No movie is too long for DVD, it's all the extras and such that take up the space.

Convert the movie to mpeg2

Depending on the size, you may or may not have to span accross CDs.

i.e. if the siz of it in mpeg2 is 1.4GB, download virtualdub and split the movie in half so it is now in 2 700MB chunks. Burn to CD as a VCD for each part
