Isn't there a nifty little tool called AviSplit?

More than likely you're playing around with a DivX file, in which case you'll be hard pushed to split it. You'll need to de-compress it, then split the source files, then re-encode into DivX. Not to mention the sound...

Of course, that's juist assuming it's DivX. Might not be, in which case my advice is utterly irrelevant.

... Sorry but, is there a freeware one? I'm run out of money so I can't buy that one (and I know that my ass will be kicked if I ask for a crack here)

Haha, why don't you look for it yourself, then? ;)
But hey, isn't there a trial?

Well, there is a program called Womble's MpegVCR. And I know there is a trial version for that. You could also download a trial version of AVI Split. but if you're really desperate and don't want to spend money, then just use the Windows Movie Maker. It's not the fastest or coolest prog, but I've used it and it works just fine.

OK, the problem is that the AVI Split trial let me save just the first part of the splitted file and not the second one... and when I tried to save fragments it just let me to save the first minute... I also tried another one called Advanced AVI Splitter but it didn't work, I don't know why?... the video file is just fine, it runs in every player (including WM Player) but somehow I cannot split it as usual using virtual dub... any other free tool, or maybe one to just to spam it in two CDs (just like Winzip do that in diskettes) ???

Surely if AVI Split is doing the job that you need it to do, it makes sense just to buy it?! Regardless of your money situation, I think you should invest your cash in a clearly perfectly functional piece of software.

IF you did that you'd be bankrupt by a week.

Nahhh not at all! I'm using, what, one piece of dodgy software on my PC now. I intend to pay for that as well, I just resent having to, since I'm a student, etc, etc.

But yeah, I wasn't making any kind of overly hypocritical comment there, I'm serious... try paying for the goods!

Sure, if you don't go get a software for everything. Most software is designed to do one thing and one thing only.
