How can I save a 9.12GB AVI Video file onto a DVD?

Question

I have several AVI video files on my HDD that I had captured from an old VHS tape of the family using Adobe Premier Elements 1.0 (old version).

Now I need the space on the HDD so I want to download it to a DVD (or several DVD's).

How do you "split" a 9.12GB avi video into "parts" so you can save all of the 9.12GB video?

In other words, how can I put 9.12GB of avi video on a 4.7GB DVD?

I have 3 other avi video files on my HDD (6.74GB, 2.21GB, and 1.05GB) that also need to put on disk.

I understand the last two (the 2.21GB and the 1.05GB video will "fit" on a 4.7GB DVD..........but how are the files that are larger than 4.7GB managed properly?

How can you put "part" of a avi video on one DVD and the rest on another DVD? How and when do you know when to stop recording?

And, can I do this with Nero's SmartStart?

Answer 1

Several ways. Use HJSplit is probably the simplest: split the large GB file into chunks that would fit on your DVD.

i think of there is someting incorrect with your burned dvd, i think of your burned dvd is archives dvd, so which you would be able to no longer play it nicely on DVD participant, and in elementary terms have sound, so which you ought to attempt use perfect application to burn customary video DVD out of your avi information, trust phelps, i'm utilising RZ DVD writer too, it may at as quickly as convert and burn any video information(any formats, incorporate any avi information) onto customary video DVD which may be performed nicely on DVD participant with sturdy video and audio high quality. you ought to have a attempt.

It doesn't matter how big the movie file is. It depends on how long it is. A 4.7 GB DVD will hold about 120 minutes. I don't know how to use it with Nero SmartStart though. I don't think you can. I would use something like Roxio. It's much easier.
