I guess you don't have a DVD burner ?
You could cut it up and put it on several SVCDs

Yes, i have a pioner ao5.

Then why not just make it into a DVD instead of a VCD or SVCD? You'll even get better compatibility with other players as a bonus. A DVD can hold over 4gigs, you could even put another short film on the same disk. Its a Win-Win cenario. And everyone likes those

ok, but how do i do that? with nero? how?, please, thank you.

It's illegal to tell people to shoot themselves, so I can't do that
How about reading the Nero help ?

Well, if the mpeg file is in a valid format...

Then all you need to do is use a DVD authoring program such as TMPGEnc DVD Author to author the disk...

Although TMPGEnc DVD Author is not free, there is a trial period on it. InfoEdit is free, but it is very limited in its capacities...

Well.... thank you, i thought it wouldn´t b so difficult to tell.

thabks anyway.

i thought it wouldn´t b so difficult to tell.

so difficult to tell what? The process is quite simple, even though i sounds a little complicated. If you don't want any fancy menus, it it little more than telling the DVD authoring program where the mpegs are and saying "make me a DVD".

Thanks solarjetman, i took my chances with Ulead movie factory and made a dvd with the fancy meny and it worked, i'll try with Tmpgenc later.
