OT: ISO Automated AVI Splitter

gdstaples wrote on 1/27/2006, 10:17 PM

I have been using VDUB to split large HDV uncompressed AVI files for DVD archive. This is very time consuming as many files are in the 100GB range - 22 DVDs.

I have downloaded a few demos of different products that claim to split uncompressed AVI files for archive but none of these can handle 100GB files. Most have been limited to a few GB.

Does anyone have a tool they would recommend that can take uncompressed AVI files and automatically split them by file size (I.E. 4.5GB) for DVD archiving? This would save a ton of time.

Thanks,
Duncan

That is a fantastic little program. Amazing how fast it is. It works great on smaller files (just tested) and I will give it a go tomorrow on a 100GB file. Thanks!

Thats what I use to back up all of my HD captures from OTA and cable. I figure Ill archive them until HD DVD/BD finally ships then I can have all of my favorite shows for HD playback.

Glad the program worked for you :)

I seriously can't wait for BR/DVD as it will make my life a ton easier. Archiving HDV projects gets quite tedious.
