You can google video splitters. I did it once before & came up with some interesting results. In fact, I posted some choices on this forum somewhere. But then, I've heard you need to be careful about splitting those types of files.

Mine is almost 4 years old.

But is it really worth the risk. I suppose cd burners for pc are so cheap nowadays. But I certainly wouldn't want to risk my dvd burner doing that type of thing (overburning.) It sounds as though it may reduce their lifespan. Morgwen do you ever have any probs with your burning normal/overburn? Any coasters/unreliable ones to date? I've heard only that overburns will not play on all players.

With a DVD burner there is no need to overburn. Just use a DVD.

Yes my problem is that I can´t overburn.

Technically there is no reason for this. All CDs have a 800Mbs space or more, the reason why you can only burn 700MB is that the rest is needed for error correction and this isn´t needed for videos and music.

I remember reading that there were larger than 700 MB disks out on the market but the general comment was that they weren't recognised/couldn't play the last parts in all players. That's probably why they didn't get very far on the market. DVD burners can also generally burn cd's which is why I mentioned the cd choice. Some people may decid to overburn a cd than burn to dvd. My knowledge is limited as far as pc apps go, but to my knowledge, it depends upon both the burner software & the burner itself (& arguably the reliability of the media itself. - some brands of media might be moe reliable than others at overburning.) eg: I've noticed I can reliably fit more onto a Verbatim DVD-rw than a TDK dvd-rw. When the app says the blank tdk disk doesn't have enough space, then sometimes when I swap it with a verbatim, it can fit it. It seems to be not far under 100 MB difference (or perhaps 50-80 MB.)

This is true. I bought a 800Mb cd and with overburing you can burn over 900MB.

But a normal CD can be read from the beginning until the end you just use the 100 MB error correction for burning. I never had problems with such Cds or heard about it.

I have a 5 year old Plextor 8-4-32 it still works flawlesly

lol thanks for the answers/posts... I have no clue what type of burner I have, all I know its old and only burns at 4x max!!!!

Wow, eh? lol

Does anyone know where to download de quick time encoder/decoder but without installing the quicktime player ???
Or better yet, is there any page or site to download all kinds of decoders (except OM2 one's), Sorry for the subject, I know it's nothing to do with lime wire :$

Depends which platform you're talking about, mac or windows. Worthy ones to get are DivX http://www.divx.com & 3ivx for a start (google 3ivx.) Mpeg 2 helps but it does cost money. Having QT Pro unlocks a no. of codecs for encoding which are already installed on your system. Also go to QT's Prefs & MIME settings & make sure all plug-ins are ticked. You can also dwnld some xtra 3rd party ones for free if you press update QT & are using a mac.
