Split MKV files

I found this through google

This works very very well with hacked PS3 using Showtime player!

splitMKV - split big MKV/AVI files + external SRT subtitles in smaller chunks (FAT32)

Here we go with another handy and cool tool: splitMKV. It will be included in multiAVCHD's full download, along with a standalone app download here: http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/splitMKV/

Those of you who have multiAVCHD can simply download the .exe (80KB) and put it in multiAVCHD's folder.

splitMKV is a CLI tool, but since it uses default split size of 4000MiB you can use drag&drop with your MKV/AVI files, too:

Code:

D:\>splitMKV.exe

splitMKV ver 0.02 - split MKV/AVI files with external SRT subtitles (deank@doom9)

Usage: splitMKV.exe input_file [output_folder] [/split:SIZE]

* input_file must be a MKV or AVI

* SIZE is set in MiB - i.e /split:4000 for FAT32 compatibility (default)

Use this to output directly to USB (standard 4gb chunks): c:\some\folder\splitMKV.exe d:\another\folder\test_movie.mkv x:\

It will process MKV or AVI files and will split them in smaller parts (set by /split: option) and on-the-fly it will split the corresponding SRT file, will set new timings and will fix errors in the SRT subtitle file.

Important: SRT files must be saved in ANSI format before processing.

Note: Using this tool makes sense only if you have external SRT subtitles to be split along with the input MKV/AVI file. Otherwise it is just a simple CLI4CLI (for mkvmerge).

The whole idea is to cut the steps for splitting and adjusting subtitles, when user splits the original video, so basically that's what splitMKV does.

Example: splitMKV.exe d:\test_movie.mkv

will split test_movie.mkv in 4GiB chunks along with test_movie.srt so you will get:

test_movie-part-001.mkv

test_movie-part-001.srt

test_movie-part-002.mkv

test_movie-part-002.srt

etc..

Example 2: splitMKV.exe d:\test_movie.mkv /split:700

will split test_movie.mkv in 700MiB chunks...

The tool was requested by OPPO BDP-83 blu-ray player users, since it can play MKV files off a USB stick. Because there is a 4GB limit for FAT32, this small tool will come in hand. Of course, splitMKV can be used with multiAVCHD before creating a compilation.

For example you want to create a DVD5 AVCHD disc from 8GiB MKV file. So you can split the MKV with splitMKV first and then create 2 or more DVD5 discs from the split parts.

The tool uses mkvmerge to split the input file and then mediainfo to recalculate the proper timings for newly created SRT segments.
