Description of AccuSplit
:
AccuSplit is a multi-threaded Win32 application that was designed to rapidly and reliably split large files into smaller segments to allow for easy archival to external media like CD-R, Zip or floppy disks. These file segments can then be recombined at a later time into an exact copy of the original file. The application was initially developed to split very large MPEG or AVI video files into smaller segments so that they could be moved from the hard drive onto inexpensive CD-R disks, thereby freeing up significant hard disk space. However the application is capable of segmenting and then correctly reconstructing ANY file, even non-Windows format files. To insure that the file reconstructed from the file segments exactly matches the original source file the application incorporates an advanced cryptographic algorithm that computes an MD5 Message Digest for both the original and reconstructed files. An MD5 Message Digest match between these files indicates with absolute certainty that no data was lost during the file split and reconstruction process. AccuSplit v2.5 now includes the ability to split MPEG-1 format files (including Video-CD) into "independently playable" segments. Now you can split your large MPEG-1 files into CD-sized (or any other size) segments and play them back directly from the CD - no file reconstruction is required. AccuSplit has been designed to run as a stand-alone executable. There is nothing to install. Simply extract the application and its help files from the downloaded Zip file and double-click on the AccuSplit.EXE file to begin program execution. The application runs under Windows [95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP] and doesn't include any of the annoying AdWare or NagWare plug-ins that are common to many of today's shareware applications. AccuSplit also includes a full Windows-style help file. |
