How to split an mpeg file

[carbuff]

Hi, I just made an mpg of Austin Powers that I want to burn to cd. The problem is that the file is too big. Its almost 1 gig. Is there a way to split in 2 to burn onto 2 different cds and have it play correctly? Or is there a way to encode the .vob files to make a smaller mpg. Also, the sound is much lower than the dvd. Is there a way to fix that too. Sorry for all the newbie questions. I used smartripper,DVD2avi, then Tnpgenc. It semed to work well.I could not get flaskmpg to work. Thanks.

IF your using TMPEG then go to:
"FILE"
"MPEG TOOLS"
"MERGE & CUT" or "CUT & JOIN" (EITHER WILL WORK)
1. "ADD" (ADD YOUR FILE)
2. CLICK ON "EDIT" (MAKE SURE U HIGHLIGHT YOUR FILE CHOSEN)
3. THEN BUT THIS ({) AT THE BEGGING
4. NEXT GO TO A PARK WHERE IT EITHER FADES OF CHANGES SEENS, AT THAT MOMENT PUT THIS MARKER (}) THEN YOUR DONE WITH PART 1!!!
5. CLICK "OK", NAME YOUR FILE NAME AND THE DIR.
(AUSTIN POWERS (1OF2)
6. AND LAST "RUN"
WALLA YOUR DONE WITH PART 1

FOR PART 2 DO THE SAME (YOUR MARKER SHOULD STILL BE THERE) BUT BACK TRACK 1 LITTLE FRAME AND "OK"
7. NAME YOUR FILE NAME AND THE DIR.
8. AND "RUN" (THIS ONE MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE LONGER BECAUSE IT HAS TO SEARCH FOR THE FRAME)

YOUR DONE JUST BURN USING NERO OR EZCD, YOU'LL BE WATCHING YOUR MOVIE IN NO TIME (ABOUT 10-15MIN FOR CUTTING A WHOLE MOVIE)

Hey, thanks for the quick reply. Sounds easy enough. I will give it a try. I guess for the volume problem, I can manipulate the .wav file that I have for audio before I mix it with the video to make the mpeg. Any suggestion on a utility to increse the volume of a .wav file? Thanks.

Just click on EDIT here to the left for some guides how to cut/join video.

You can increase/normalize the volume with Cool Edit.

Great, Thanks for all the friendly help. Usenet can be such a pain. Full of windbags with no real answers. This is a great place here. Thanks again.
