Split a 900Mb file (.avi actually) into 2 files which will fit into CDs. Freeware, shareware available?

Question

I checked a few splitter programs, quite cute really but the trial version only does "50%" and I am not sure of what. Or one splitter put in a watermark all over the movie. Or, worse of all, at one point the program took so much space that it used up all the memory (more than 20 Gb free at that time). I assume I get the memory back but wow.

Answer 1

Use the Movie Maker program included free with Windows XP (Start > All Programs > Accessories > Movie Maker)

Answer 2

If you just want the avi files try these two free programs. (I assume you have Windows)
You can also use WinRAR to compress the file into more manageable pieces. You can choose the maximum size for each piece.

Answer 3

Use your burner software (eg, Nero) to make a vcd, it will split it into 2 cd's and will be playable on just about any dvd player.
