Is there a quick way I can split a movie into parts?
Preferably on mac.
The movie file is 1.39 GB.

maybe using imovie if you have the actual file on your computer.
I tried SplitFuse…
It said the estimated time remaining was 20 hours. The movie was 12% complete…
I’m importing it to imovie now. About 980 minutes remaining. :-( But at least it will not take as long.
You could use Quicktime Pro. It lets you copy and paste segments of the movie. Open the movie in QTP and select the first half and cut it. Open a new file and paste what you cut. Save both. This just isn’t very precise. And I assume you need to split the movie so you can burn it on two CDs. So your segments will need to be precise.
Why the other programs are taking so long is that they are re-encoding the movie. As long as QTP can play it the cut-copy-paste method will be a lot faster. I would install Perian to make sure you have the best chance of QT being able to playback the movie.
Ok…
1. I got a program called darwine
2. Got a program called dvdshrink
3. Opened dvdshrink in darwine
4. Opened the movie files in dvdshrink
5. Selected a bunch of end and start points
6. It made the new videos
7. Used a program called Handbrake to turn the files to quicktime format
8. Opened the new files in iDVD
9. Now burning…
