Install the Cygwin utilities (www.cygwin.com) and this will give you
many wonderful *nix utilities on your Winders box -- one of which is
"split" which you can use to split a file into as many chunks as
necessary to fit the size media you need.

Dunno about the latest, but my method will still work fine with the
extracted .ty file -- provided you split up the TMPGenc files to try
to get an acceptable bitrate across however many SVCD's you want and
figure where you want the 'program breaks' to be -- I've fit 55
minutes of video to an SVCD, but it looked like crap. ;-)
