Download TMPG for this as it's the easiest. When you go to encode the video, there will be a Source Range selection in the options before encoding. Double click that and you will be able to set a start and end point. Start the next encoding where your last one left off.

You encoded a AVI into a MPEG1. Good so far.
you a have 850Meg file.
Note that you 700Meg CD will hold a 790Meg video in VCD format.
This is why people are telling you to re-encode a little smaller.

What you asked was how to split the MPEG file.
Goto the guides section and look under editing (cutting) MPEG1 files.
All the help you will need !!!
If it was MPEG2 I recommend MPEG2CUT (freeware)


I recommend VCDeasy to make your MPEG file into a (S)VCD disk.
