[SOLVED] Creating split archives bigger than 1000MB

Hi everyone!

A friend of mine asked me that I shared with him a file. That file is too big to fit in a DVD, so I decided to split it in two. So, I right-click the thing, click "Create Archive", "Other options", but in both 7z and RAR formats the maximum file size is of 1000MB. So, why is that? And what is the way around it?

Best regards

use .tar.gz doesn't have those limitations

w00t!

Thanks!

So, if I split it in tar.gz, which archivers can extract it in Windoze?

In Windows, 7-zip, IZArc. Dedoimedo

Thanks for your reply.
