2,4 GB AVI file splits to 600 MB and 2,4 GB files…?

[ISSI]

Hi ev'body!

I have a question concerning splitting an AVI.
I am using FMPEGX 0.0.9j, MacOSX 10.3.

I am trying to split my AVI (size before splitting: 2,4 GB) into 4 segments, so that these segments would fit on CDR 700 MB.

The problem: FFMPEX doesn't split the rest of the AVI file correctly: I end up with one file (the first quarter) which is 600 MB of size, and a second file which is 2,4 GB (just as the original file) and NOT 1,8 GB.

Why is that? Is the AVI too big to split it correctly? Is there a solution to this?

Thanks for any help!

Try splitting the AVI file in VirtualDub.

OOps! Sorry...didn't know u had a Mac. I dont know much about Macs, but I'm sure someone else here does.

... I also tried DVision (Vs. 2.15), a GUI for mencoder, but I have exactly the same problem: two files, the second as big as the original file...

???? Is this maybe a mencoder thing?
???? Or maybe a problem for Mac OSX to handle / split AVI files of that size?

...just an idea...

...I updated, for a test, to ffmpegX 0.0.9L and the latest codecs, but no change...

..I updated to 0.0.9r and s but still the same problem...

Anyone around to share some good news with me?

The problem is that standard AVI files don't support sizes bigger than 2GB. You're probably using a V2.0 AVI which is currently not supported by the split tool.
