TMPG mpeg tools will also work after the 30 day trial has expired.
VirtualDuB is freeware.
If it is an mpeg file, it will actually fit if it is a SVCD or VCD file,
since a CD holds 800MB when you use either one of these formats (the
error correction is contained in the file).
Either way, you need to specify a little more.

One simple solution is GSplit -- freeware and will split it however
you want it and create an exe file that will re-assemble the pieces
later for you (just used it to back up some large files for a guy at
work so I could get some disk space to work in).
