Burn DVD - brucem - 13-10-2025
I have been emailed an MP4 file, which I want to burn to a DVD-R. It is too large to fit on one disk (14.9 GB), can I split the file, so that I can use multiple disks, or edit it to fit? It is a funeral service.

What kind of email service are you using that accepts 15GB files?
You can't really split MP4 files unless in a video editor.
Do you want a disc that's playable on a DVD player?
It would make more sense to create a video DVD from the file,
Although being that big I expect it's higher quality than DVD video
so you'd lose quality by doing so.

Im guessing the file you had emailed to you was a shared link through google drive or some other cloud storage?
A dual layer DVD can only hold about 8GB, so i expect its higher resolution in 1080P, do you need it to play in a DVD player?
You will need to download handbrake and encode for a lower resolution format suitable for DVD(720p, MPEG2)
Then use DVD flick to make a DVD with it.

Another option would be to copy the file onto an appropriately sized USB drive, then plug into the USB port of your TV. You may need to convert the video file to a format that your TV supports though.Or if you're intending to send the video a USB drive could be sent as some of them are small enough to be posted in a standard letter, with a couple of layers of cardboard for protection and/or disguise.
