I have videos that are 1500MB. I want to put it on a data CD. A data CD only holds 700MB. One is an AVI file. I heard of 'AVI Chop', but its own makers say it is not very good. Thanks

Thank you for replying.

I'm just guessing but I think it has to be joined first before viewing.

Try Magic AVI Splitter (http://www.download.com/Magic-AVI-Splitter/3000-2169-10317946.html?tag=lst-0-8)
Magic AVI Splitter can help you split, cut, or trim a large AVI file into smaller video clips.
From what it says, I'm sure you'll be able to play them without rejoining.
And it costs only $20. Check out the trial version and give us a review of it.
