How to make Segmented .rar files?

wildcard · Apr 24, 2007

Hi guys,

I have a 6GB file, and I want to compress it using segmented rar files, so I can burn it into 2 DVDs, is there a way to make it?

other alternative: create a DMG and then use Split and Concat (freeware) to split it up.

To create a DMG:

Create a New Folder and place the files you would like in your disk image into this new folder.
Right click (or CTRL-Click) the folder and select "Get Info" and note the size of it's contents.
Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)
Click the "New Image" icon to create a new disk image. Enter a name for the Image, and select a size adequate for the size of your folder you created in Step 2. Set the encryption to "none" and Format to "read/write disk image". See Tips to learn how to encrypt the image.
Place the contents of the folder from Step 2 into the newly mounted disk image
Unmount the Disk Image by dragging it's icon to the Trash. In the Finder window, you can also click the Eject symbol next to the mounted image.
Click to expand...
