DIVX to VCD spanning CD's

[rintsp]

Hi guys, I am new to all this, and this website has solved all my problems bar one....

I have an AVI file which is 720MB in DVDirx-AEN format, at least this is what it says on the file!

I want to be able to move this to VCD or SVCD. How do I split the AVI into pieces?

If I could split the AVI in half, it should fit onto 2 CD's and that would be great!

I am sure this is a really noddy question!

Cheers

Pete

(to cut it as an AVI)
or
During encoding with TMPGEnc you could use the source range and batch encode to split it during the conversion process.

load it into tmpgenc using the vcd or svcd template in the wizard. click the next button. you'll see a "source range" option. check that box. that will take you into a screen where you can set the begin and end of the conversion. click "set" for the beginning, then click "move to end," then click "set end." look at the top left of the screen and you'll see the frame count and the time count. you can put about 80 minutes on a vcd or about 50 minutes on an svcd. so, if you're doing a vcd (for example), and your "count" is 94 minutes, click "set start," which will set the start frame at "0." next, you want to set the "end" at about 79:30 or so which is about frame 140,000 in vcd if i remember correctly. so, enter 140,000 in the "end frame" box and click "move to end frame" then click "set end frame." click next, then repeat the process but use 140,000 as the start frame for the second vcd you're about to make. click "set start frame" then click "move to end frame" which will put a "-1" in the end frame box, then click "set end frame." click next. now you have set it up to encode about 80 minutes on the first vcd and about 14 minutes on the second vcd. the rest should be pretty self-explanatory but post again if you need more help with it. there are guides to the left on this page that explain in great detail the whole process of using tmpgenc or just about any other thing you could need.
