I need to cut up a 250mb file to fit onto several zip disks, is there any software that would do such a task and then join the segments back together ? I would like one that would work on different types of files and not just to video files

There's also an old old old program called HJSplit which splits files as well. The only drawback is that it does the splitting in kilobytes and you can't change the unit it measures in, but it works for all sorts of things like truncated downloads and such, and it's really small. (Under 100kb I think) Do a google search for it and you should find it.

Just use whatever zip compression program that you have installed. Set the compression to zero (storage) and split the zip file into multiple chunks.

I use WinRAR on PC and Stuffit (Drop Segment) on Mac.
winRAR has a very cool feature using parity to rebuild a missing part(s) as well.
