i'm not sure if it works with your file(is really big)
$ split -bX file.avi file.avi. [enter]
where X would be de size for the pices like 1m
$ man split
then you can put it again with $ cat file.* > file.avi
cheers

I can watch that movie using mplayer. (I'm using reiserfs). Now I want to cut out the commercials and compress the file to e.g. divx. My problem is, that my cutting software (glav, I love it) only recognizes the first 2 GB of the avi-file. I tried to split the file using aviplit, but avisplit seems to be buggy, because it doesn't work the way it should. Maybe it cannot handle the reiserfs. It allways produces one chunk and then exits. So how can I split my 4.8GB file into 3 or more independent AVI-Files?[...] Perhabs you should contact the authors of glav, or similar; or even better submit a bug.No. This is a known limitation of the AVI format. Typically AVI's greater than 2GB aren't "indexed" (though there are hacked version of the AVI format which overcome this). You can stream the AVI but you can't seek in it, necessary for editing. A workaround would probably be to have mplayer reencode the video to the smaller target size first *then* edit out the commercials. But I suspect you're using mjpegtools. mjpegtools can record to segmented AVIs. Why not use that option? Then you can run something "glav movie-00*". Nowadays I use mplayer to record straight to high-quality divx.
