CD burning using multiple discs

[Kat]

Hi I've got a file I'd like to burn to CD but I'm getting an error message in
Windows Media Player when I try and burn it saying 'This file is too large to
fit on a disc'. I'd like to burn it to several CDs but I don't know how you
do this in Media Player. Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Thanks.

PS - I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium (not XP as the discussion group
title says, I couldnt find the Vista one).

Natively - I don't believe Vista or XP can split the file for you to span
several disks (automatically.) You could use one of many programs to do
this for you - but have you just considered using DVDs instead?

Thanks Shenan, I haven't got any dvds so spanning it over multiple CDs would
be easier. what (free) downloadable software would you recommend? I've got
Nero, can that do it from a file within Windows Media Player?
