Son, there are 3 kinds of people in the world, Those who can count, and those who cannot.

Well your best bet would be perhaps a multi-part zip, or file splitter:

Try here: http://www.tucows.com/system/filesplit95_default.html

You could of course could use any video editing tool to split it into multiple files, but this would require rerendering and would result in a quality loss.

There is this tool, I haven't tried it but looks interesting and might be of some use, and it cheap.
