    I want to upload a video to a website, and it only allows 100mb per file. I want to archive a 431 mb file into the smallest number of files. The instructions for multi-part archiving is over my head and I can't figure out what to do.

    I DO know that I must enter a number in the "Split to volumes" panel, but could someone please tell me what to enter to get the smallest number of parts?

    So far it's Greek to me!

    Thanks!

    Just simple maths and logic.

    1024Bytes per kByte, 1024kBytes per mB, so 100 * 1024 * 1024 bytes. That is assuming they are using that definiton for a MB, could be they are using 1,000.

    Fact is that 431 would mean 4 * 100 with a remainder of 31, so 5 pieces. Means you may as well go with ~87MB pieces. so 87 * 2^20 / 10^6 = 91, so even if they are using 1,000, you are safe.
