how do i split a 8gig mpeg2 file into 2 4gig files so they will go onto a fat32 formatted flash drive i need it to be in fat32 so my ps3 can read the flash drive
You could try Avidemux. It works great for AVI files, I have tried with some VOBs but I had A/V sync issues. What type of audio is with that mpeg2 video? If that doesn't work, I might have a couple more suggestions, depending on the audio, and involves the use of 2 software(free and pretty light weight).
To split by size, you can use DGSplit. To get a 4GB split, I think you insert 3906.25MB (3906.25 x 1024 = 4,000 MB = 4GB http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/DGSplit.shtml
Hi attar, I don't think that's the OP's scope. To just split any file ,I would've recommended any free good splitters/joiners, like FFSJ or HJSplit, which can split by size or number. Even Winrar or 7zip can do it, however, I think he wants to have the file split into 2 playable mpegs. Unlike mp4,mkv or AVI, I haven't seen lots of free good mpeg2 splitters. Avidemux is one choice. Virtual Dub with the mpeg option might be another choice. One other way that I think it might be doable, is to use tSMuxer (if it will accept it, the ones I tried worked) and mux the mpeg to a TS file. TSmuXer has an option to split the output by size. It could also be done by muxing to an MKV, using MKVmerge, but not sure if the PS3 plays MKV files.
@cyprusrom I used it to split a 7GB mpg of Master & Commander without any problems - at least on a WDTV player.
Hi attar, indeed, it works! I split them, then renamed to mpg, and all good. I tried with the other spliter, HjSplit...and works as well. I tried other video files, AVI/mp4,splitting and changing the extension back, and it seems it works better on mpegs. With Avis/mp4 I had problems with seeking in the first split part, and second one wouldn't play at all for me. Thanks, learned something new! Cheers!
