freeware to split 8 gb mpeg2 into 4.7 gb sections for dvd-r?

[coenocyte]

Is there a freeware program to split an 8-9gb mpg file recorded w/ tv tuner/pvr card into 4.7gb chunks that fits on 1-layer dvd-r? If there is, what's the processing time, is there a gui, or what code would you type? I'd like something simple. Thanks.

If you just need splitting, try TMPGEnc encoder. For those operations, it's freeware. Or if you need a little more advanced editing you could try Cuttermaran.

but i thought tmpeg doesn't support mpeg2 in freeware mode? only mpeg1?

basically, something like a simple batch file or a line of code that would convert 'name.mpg' into 'name-disk1.mpg' and 'name-disk2.mpg'. i'd then put those two 4.7 gb chunks into dvd authority programs and that's basically all i need.

btw, not sure if 4.7gb is the exact size of dvd disk...maybe 4.5 gb?

Top notch cutter, but you'll have to do the cuts yourself.

If you want automated, download the compiled version of ProjectX from here. It bypasses the Java installation requirement and installs cleanly.

To use it in a batch file to cut at specific file sizes:


projectx.exe -tom2p D:\input.mpg -name part -split 4200 -out d:\outputDir
