After installing, just selectthe input file, select theoutput file, and give thedesired size at which you’dlike to split the larger AVI.

Why would you need this ? Well, first of all, because of storage space. Personally, Istill write all my important data, software, movies, backups, pictures, documents –everything – on CDs and NOT on DVDs. Why ? Because DVDs tend both to be lessreliable and take a much longer time to write. And if a CD with half a movie or somedata gets damaged, you’ve only damaged ONE PART of that data, while if you’vedamaged a DVD – a much larger amount of data needs to be rewritten.

Avichop even lets you rewrite a few frames from the end of the first chopped segment, into the first part of the next segment, so it’s absolutely certain, that you don’t looseany information from the original AVI file.

Give AviChop a try !

Avichop can be downloaded from several locations, if you’ll just google it, “downloadavichop” and a couple of download locations will come up.

I’ve personally downloaded it from HERE
