I've scoured Google w/out any success (Rarsoft's knowledgebase is down atm & the app's own help index is rubbish)...

Preparing to release a large avi to the newsgroups & want to split the file into 14 or 15 meg file volumes the way I see it done everywhere else...but I can&#39;t get it to work, I&#39;ve tried everything (that I&#39;m aware of) - <_< AAAARGHH&#33;
By the way, it&#39;s WinRAR v3.30 Beta 5.

I right-click the avi, "Add to Archive" & this is basically the way I have it set up...

When it comes to "Split to volumes, bytes", I&#39;ve attempted the bottom 3 options without any success. Then I interpretted a help link I found on google as explaining that it&#39;s up to the user to change the extension in the "Archive name" from .rar to .r00 or.r01, but that just created large single files with those extensions.

Below, I tried selecting "old style..." but that didn&#39;t do anything. The other tabs & options don&#39;t seem to be relevant...

->The fact that it&#39;s something which is probably right under my nose & the fact that everybody else seems to be executing the process easily is what&#39;s so irritating.

Anyway, little help?

Thanks a lot. :)

in the option "split volumes, bytes" enter 15,728,640 (for the rar to be split into 15mb files) then just click ok n it should start raring.

14,680,064 (for 14 mb files)
