Help a computer idiot save something...

[Nathan]

Ok, I'm backing up everything remotely important on my computer because I'm pretty sure its about to die and I need to reformat and re-install everything anyway. I have one video that I absolutely refuse to loose, but its too big to fit onto a CD. Does anyone know of a program I can download for free that can break this video into two pieces? Thanks!

yah its a proggy called slice. Its an old dos proggy that devides the file into file sizes of your choice.

[Nathan]

DOS??? oh lordy...anything more idiot proof out there? This file can NOT get screwed up, its extremely important to me.

[w1ngzer0]

im sure by now there is a windows version out there. winzip has somthing similar but it doesn't quite work like they think it should

[elwesso]

I will talk it over, but you could upload it to Q45.org and then redownload it?

[w1ngzer0]

there u go that works too

[Nathan]

This is NOT the kind of file that I will let anywhere other than my own computer/possession

[BuudWeizErr]

winrar...

it works like winzips, it zips it up into one file, but you can break it up into custom sizes.. so you can break it into a bunch of 5mb files, burn as many as possible to one disc, then the rest on another.

you don't have another computer you could put a NIC in and transfer over a network? Thats what I do when it comes time to format.

[elwesso]

Yeah if we uploaded it to Q45.org it might get to the multimedia forum.....

[Nathan]

Nathan....i'll give you 10 bucks for a copy of the "file"

[Zydeco]

If it wont fit on a cd then it would take hours to upload anywhere.

[Mr1der]

Use that DVD-R!!! It's only a 4x and only - (not +) but at 20 bucks after $40 rebate why not?!?!

It might not be the best one out there, but crap, it'll get your file crammed on the disc and backed up. Now that we've managed to get this file thing solved at a minimal cost (only 20 bucks) and now you've got a dvd-r, how bout u/ling some clips for NICO to see? lol

[w1ngzer0]

yah and then you can make a copy so you can watch it on your screen
