Hi,

What software would I use to break a movie file up into parhaps several movie files to use as chapters? Preferably free?

Are you talking about a DVD ? What authoring software do you use ? Usually a movie isn't split into seperate pieces to create chapters, as this can result in a pause between the pieces. Your authoring software should allow you to mark the chapter points without having to resort to this.

There are several good editting programs for cutting and joining. For avi files virtualdub is free.

Hi,

Im using DVD Author. I havent used anything else and just assumed that was how you done it.

Whats a good recommendation of DVD Authoring software for a newbie, not too complex but good useability and quality? Also, I would like something that I could add subtitles to movies as a menu option too?

Here's a guide for TMPGEnc DVD Author, you can set your own chapters or do it at regular intervals.

I use TDA and I think it's newbie friendly, I don't think it supports Subs though.
