Go to the folder the file is in, go to tools>folder options. Uncheck the "hide extensions for known filetypes" and then change the extension to .avi...

It's not an avi file, it's an Ogg Media (video) file. You'll have to use a normal file splitter to split it (not an avi splitter). Try HJsplit.

Burn the two halfs onto 700MB CDs. Then when you get to the computer you want to play the film on, copy the 700MB parts onto the target machine, use HJsplit again to join the two halfs back up.

The second part won't play until you join it back up with the first part on the target machine
