1,4 Gb file - what should I do?

[sm7urw]

Hi
I have a movie that is 1.4 GB large.
1 - Should I try to fit it on one CD by compression (will it really be ok quality)
2 - If I should split the file, how do I do that?

Any compression you do will degrade the quality, maybe a little or maybe alot. I'd say if it's already in MPG format, it's already compressed so compressing it more would really effect quality. I would rather split the file. There are several tools, but I use TMPGEnc. Look under 'MPEG Tools', it lets you select the starting and ending frames for each output file. Try to do it as close to the center as possible, so you'll have two roughly 700mb files.
