I have a 19.1GB MPG file that I'd like to split and burn on several DVDs - olnacl - 05-01-2011

Any tips? Before you ask, it's the 8 hour episode of the Royal Wedding (don't ask) that I recorded off BBC on my TiVo, then transferred to my Mac using iTiVo. So now I have this huge .mpg file (which plays fine in Boxee, BTW) that I need to burn to DVD for the person I recorded it for. A quick Google just got solutions for Windows with software I've never heard of. Hopefully this is doable on a Mac without spending an arm and a leg to get 'er done. (yeah, I know I should have recorded it in 1 hour segments originally.)

Just cut it into 5 segments in Quicktime?

That should fit on 2 DVD-R DL Dual Layer discs. 8.5 GB each is the limit

Can iDVD downsample it to fit on one DVD?

This is why I keep an old copy of Quicktime 7 Pro around.

Just load it up and split it into movie segments.

Do you have the Wedding Nite video? I want to see Kate doin' her thing on baldo.

I'll bet both of them just lay there.

Before splitting, you should try using iMovie 9 to send to iDVD. iDVD will then tell you if you need a single layer or dual layer DVD blank.

I have no problem with 25 GB Family movies sent to iDVD and burning them.

Ya know... I'll bet young Lady Di was like that at first... but I don't get that impression for
this future queenie. But to be honest, I'd have to compare her and the sister to see which one
is really and truly ready to be Queen of Poovania (despite it being pointed out yesterday that
the sister would be named Lady PippiPoo).

As was pointed out in a different thread... there's nothing like rolling around naked in fertilizer while yodeling.
