Mondo splits these files automatically and creates CD's.

So say you have your 3 movies in /movies then you execute:

mondoarchive -O -w 11 -d ATAPI:0,1,0 -9 -I "/movies"  -s 700m -k 
FAILSAFE -l LILO -f /dev/hda -g


You will get as many CD's (in the case of this command CD-RW's) as are 
needed to fit the three movies.

But you cannot play anything on each of these CD's: mondo format only to 
use mondorestore on.

Put the first CD in and run mondorestore: it will put /movies wherever 
you would want it and *then* you can play the movies.
