1st disc plays 2nd one won't--HELP

[marathonb]

I downloaded a movie. It's in two 800+mb files. I split these so I can burn them on to two cds and get it off the harddrive. The first cds play fine on my windows media player version 7.01. The second cds give the error message that the media is not supported. :-? This problem is probably so basic to fix that I can't find anyone talking about it. Any one care to clue me in??? Thanks....

Can you give us more specifics? Burn process, program, etc

I'm using the Adaptec burner that came with my Gateway GP7-550 CPU. We're running Windows 98 OS.
The burner specs are: read: 24x3600kb/sec; write: 4x600kb/sec. It's an Adaptec IDE-CD-R/RW 4x4x24 burner.

I want to be able to convert these movies to CD & get them off the harddrive. The format, I believe is standard MPEG-1, that's what plays on my windows media player 7.01.

The problem is that each MPEG file is too big to put on a CD. So I split the file and the first one will play fine. The second one gives a messsage that the "format is unsupported".

I have to believe I'm the only person out there who doesn't know how to burn then reintegrate MPEG movies, as I don't see anyone talking abut having this problem. HELP!
