Okay ive got a 1.2 Gb .Rar file and i want to burn it onto 2, 700 Mb Discs, How do i split a .rar into multiple parts because i know it is possible. I Have Winrar PRO or w/e Btw....

I doubt thats possible.

I doubt thats possible.

It is, its called spanned archives. You can break files into multiple RAR archives and then decompress them as if they were just one archive. I don't use WinRar so I can't give detailed instructions though on how to do it. I use PowerArchiver.

There should be some sort of option like "max file size" when creating the archive, and thats what you want to set. Then it will automatically parse to a new file when that cap is hit.

I use 7-Zip though.

Open WinRar, navigate to the folder with that rar, select it, tools, convert archives, compression

Ok i see "Split to volumes, Bytes" but i dont really know what to do from there... i selected the compression i want (CD700Mb) but nothing really happens...
Edit: Uhh Sorry i spoke too soon, I think ive got it figured out, Thanks!

Select it, press ok on that screen, and ok on the next. It should split it.

I hit "save" on the second screen, is this gonna affect anything? (I hope not...)

Yeah, this is the way to do it, if you have the time, recompress with this selection from the start.
