OK , so I want to upload a video to Youtube or Dailymotion, but it's 43 minutes long and Dailymotion only allows 20 minutes max, so I need to split it.

I'm not sure about Youtube, it says "1 GB" file size, but I tried uploading to Youtube and it didn't process (says "failed.")

The whole video is 168 MB.

The format is flash, I can convert it to AVI,MGEG-4 with MPEG Streamclip.

What I want to know, is how can I split the video into three 15 minute parts ?

Is there a simple way to do this , and what programs can I use ?

Any imovie/idvd ?

Other software ?

Any ideas ??

YouTube is limited to 10 minutes. That 1GB is simply the maximum file size you can upload which does get converted.

I'd convert it to something iMovie could handle and make appropriate split edits in that. For me that usually means opening the file in QuickTime Pro and saving the file to Apple Intermediate Codec. If I recall right, I can do that because I have Perian loaded which allows QT to read the flv files.
