  1. Do you split directly from the DVD source or do you first copy the movie to your PC? It would be good practice to first copy the movie to your PC if it isn’t protected.

    Once it is on your PC first thing you can check is the permissions on the file you are attempting to split.

    To do this you right click the file you wish to work on and select Properties. Select the security tab at the top of the new window. Highlight the username you use. If anything other than full control is checked, you may run into permission problems when working with the file.

    If your user has administration privileges you should be able to change the permissions by clicking on Advanced, hilighting the user, click “Change Permissions” then double click the user name again and check “Full Control”.

    I have looked online on another forum regarding hjsplit and other users have experienced a few bugs with it.

    I personally have used a different file splitting program which works a treat, although I haven’t used it to directly split from a dvd source.

    It will split files however you need and provide a small executable so the recipient can merge the pieces fuss free.

    I just tested it on my Windows 7 machine, on a 4GB dvd iso split into 10MB pieces and it performed task brilliantly.

    Hope this helps.
