Downloading movies and adding to a VCD. SVSD etc . . .

I downloaded Tenacious D In the Pick of Destiny off morpheus, and 1st the 1st time it was the whole movie in one file. Usually it is split in two files that needed downloaded seperatly. Now here is my Problem:I burned the movie onto cd last night but it did not record the end. Right at the part where they break the pick then Open Mic Host picks it up. I need to know how to split the into two separate files so i can burn the ending on abnother disc.OR is there a program i can download that will sqeeze the more than 700Mb movie down the fit on a regular CD-R


please help

 

you guys are no fuckign help

 

What format is the movie in? xvid or divx are normally very popular. What size is the file? Generally a movie is around 600 or 700MB, and you should be able to get a CD-R that'll have 750MB of space.
I would guess a program such as windows movie maker could be used to split the film into two seperate sections if you can't fit it at all onto one disk.

 

well, i converted the movie to Motion Picture Group Format
(MPEG-2) the movie its self appears to be only 615MBs. But as in the progam i burn with, It shows about 700 and something .

 

What program are you using?

There are two programs avisplit and avimerge that come along with the "transcode" package that can split or join together AVI files. Also you can get the same result with "mencoder" , video utility of the mplayer program (a movie player, http://www.mplayerhq.hu)
giving the parameters :

$ mencoder filetosplit.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -endpos [time] -o firstdisk.avi

where endpos is the point in the timeline where to cut the first time.

then you do:

$ mencoder filetosplit.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -ss [time] -o seconddisk.avi

where ss is the point in the timeline from which start playing and time is the same value given in the first passage. in a nutshell, you tell the player to play and copy both audio and video streams to a new file up to a certain point, then to do the same from the point you ended before.

this for the good news. the bad news are that afaaik transcod is only available for Unix, not Windows.
but there is a windows version of Mplayer. You have to find out if you can do that with the win32 version too, i dont know.

p.s. dont take help from others as granted bro, nobody is bound to help you.
