[MPlayer-users] Fitting a big file on a 700mb cd with mencoder?

[Brian Neltner]

I just joined this mailing list after a while of being gone, so I'm sorry if
my response does not address your question appropriately, but...

why don't you just use avisplit?  I think it even comes with the avidemux
package, or at least the transcode packages.  I'm pretty sure that 

avisplit -s 700 <filename.avi>

will split up your avi into as many 700 MB chunks as it takes to do the entire
movie.  It's also fast, because it just takes the entire file, splits it up,
and then reindexes the movie.

Just an idea, sorry if it's irrelevant or has been tried already.
