avi/mpeg splitter
 

I've been doing some searching but have yet to find what I'm looking for. I'm looking for an avi splitter so I can take large avi files and split them into two. The reason for this is so I can make VCDs out of them.

there are loads of ways to do this. probably the most streamlined would be to use tcsplit from transcode, but personally i'd use mencoder (pat of mplayer qhich everyone should already have anyway:

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -endpos 456 -o part1.avi
mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -ss 456 -o parts.avi
