how split and join file with lxsplit in ubuntu ?
I already explain to you how to join some files in my article before. now I have to describe how to join and split some files using lxsplit.
first, we have to install lxsplit by using command :
#sudo apt-get install lxsplit
then, we ready to use lxsplit.
if we want to split file in chunks of some size, we can use command :
#lxsplit -s file.rar 50M
Splitting file.rar into 2 pieces.
file.rar.001 52428800 bytes
file.rar.002 18390810 bytes
Done!
it’s mean, I will split the file into 2 pieces with 50 MB per pieces.
if we want to join some files, we can use command :
#lxsplit -j file.rar.001
Creating merged file `file.rar’.
Complete size: 70819610 in 2 files.
Processing file `file.rar.001′ …
Processing file `file.rar.002′ …
Done!
it’s mean, I will join the 2 files into 1 file.

Nice, alas, if you apply it to flv files, after the first chunk the rest become corrupted. Any ideas to split flv files? Cheers

if you want to split flv file you can’t use lxsplit. so you can used ffmpeg. i give you examples :
fisrt thing you have to installed ffmpeg using
#sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
then use ffmpeg to split into one piece of file
#ffmpeg -i test.flv -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:02:02 -vcodec copy -acodec copy newtest.flv
that command below mean that you split file into two minute and 2 seconds long.
i hope this can help you. if you want more please read ffmpeg documentation.
