How do i split .xvid file into 2 parts so i can burn it and i want the same format which is .xvid

Use VirtualDub to split. (I assume this is an avi; if it’s ogm or mkv use VirtualDubMOD instead)
http://www.virtualdub.org
Open the file in VirtualDub. Then go to video and choose 'direct stream copy' and go to audio and choose 'source audio' (these two steps are VERY important, else you will be recompressing the whole movie, which could take days or weeks).
You will notice that the cursor on the timeline is at the very left. Click on edit and go to 'set selection start'. Then move the cursor to the middle of the movie (approximately) then click the arrow with the key to the left or to the right once or twice. Hopefully it *shouldn’t* take you too far off the center; the important thing is that you cut at a keyframe. Now go to edit and choose 'set selection end'. Then go to file and choose save as avi. You’ll be saving your first half (about 600-700MB, so that’ll take however long to copy depending on how fast your hard disk is.)
Once that’s done go to edit and choose delete. It will delete the first half (hehehe). Now to file, and save as avi and pick another name. That’s your second half.

Beautiful, thx really helpful :)

Ok i did what you said to do but it doesn’t work all the time.Sometimes after i split the files then I burn them to VCD the sound is off by a couple of seconds.Also sometimes it doesn’t burn the sound at all.I use Nero 6.0 to do my burning.How can i fix this?

Sorry, personaly I cant help you on that problem :-(

Can VirtualDub split avi files (xvid and ogg vorbis)?

yes it can, just get the latest codecs and install them as the post near the top says!

Hi.. Actually i use VideoCharge in such cases. I really like it because it’s very fast, supports lots of formats and is stable enough, altough it is not free as VirtualDub.

This is a bit late, but here it goes.
If you’re following my steps: If you have VBR audio, you might want to use Nandub instead of VirtualDub, mainly to avoid out-of-sync audio.

Thanks. You guys really helped me out for tonight..
Now, finally.. My bed.. Zzz.

I too use VideoCharge - very good program for it
