Splitting 1.4 GB avi files
 

Hello

Is there anyone who can tell me how can I split an avi file over 1GB big into smaller pieces?
I've already know I should try it with avisplit but it seems to be a small problem with my Ubuntu version so I've been wondering if there are any other options?
Thanks a lot for any response and help
Happy New Year to everone ;)

why dont u use the split command ??

you can split it to specific sizes
*it will split to to 10 MB parts*

then you could combine them using cat

e.g: you could even combine them in windows ;)

e.g:

I don't know for what purpose you are trying to split, but have you tried the command 'split'?
This will split your file into 10MB chunks prefixed with splitmovie. To get your movie into one piece again, use:
'split' will not remove your original file, and 'cat' will not remove your splitted files.

It depends on what you need to do with the pieces. If all you want to do is break the file into smaller pieces, there always /usr/bin/split. If for example you wanted to split an avi file called big.avi into pieces no bigger than 500MB, you could use something like
This would output files of 500MB in size called big.avi-01, big.avi-02, etc.
To put them back together again, you just cat them, e.g.
This last part should go in a loop - you don't want to be doing that manually...
