My method was to use Easy Video Splitter to split the files into two parts,
then use Nerovision to encode both parts into part one on one CD and part
two on another. Then I bought a Philips DVD player that plays nearly every
file exactly as it was D/Led. Now I can put several movies onto a single
DVDR and the Philips will play them like an old time record player playing a
stack of LPs.
