Last night a very good friend of mine stop by and ask me if I can give him a good video that he can watch before he go to sleep when he gets home. So I scanned all my video collections in my hard drive and found one with a good story line which I thought worth watching. The video is a 1.4Gb AVI file. Unfortunately, although, he brought with him two different flash drives, the video file won’t fit since his one flash drive only have 800mb of space and the other only has less than 900mb of space.

That’s when I thought about creating split compressed archives, which worked out fine since I was able to split the movie into more than 10 pieces and distribute them in his two separate flash drives.
