Hi, I'm still new to this; I just followed the Doom9 guide to Xvid encoding, but something happened during the process; one of the temporary files is just how I want it, but it's 1.4gb (two 700mb CDs, like I wanted). After the split, each file came out to 2gb (it was the movie, and then the movie repeated) so I just want to split the file manually.

I opened this one perfect 1.4gb file in VirtualDub, but I get the error saying that the VBR data was written incorrectly in the source avi file and that VDub would overwrite the header with CBR data, introducing 7secs of lag. Is there any way to avoid this?? What can I use to just split the file easily, everything looks fine in the source movie.

Ok, I just tried Nandub and it split it just fine, but now how do I split subtitles? Where exactly are they stored, the .RAR file? I see a .idx file, but that only has time indices, so does that reference the .sub file inside the RAR archive?

Open the .idx file with subresync from VobSub 2.23 package.
Than save it as .srt with entering matched letters.
You can load later the srt file and the first avi file in Subtitle Workshop and split in two parts. Left click on the last subtitle from the first movie and split it with with "Ctrl+T". You will have 2 srt subtiles. Then load the second part of the srt saved subtitle and the second avi to verify the sync.

Or you can just cut the idx-sub files with the VobSub Cutter that comes in the same package. If you've installed GKnot, you already have VobSub installed, and you can do it from the Subtitle Tab.
