This software splits large files into smaller segments for easy archiving to various storage media while ensuring data integrity using a cryptographic algorithm. It is a standalone executable with no installation required and comes with a full help file.
Even ultra-large Windows Backup files exceeding 150GB can be segmented and then correctly reconstructed with the help of this software. To ensure that the reconstructed file exactly matches the original source file, AccuSplit incorporates an advanced cryptographic algorithm. By computing an MD5 Message Digest for both the original and reconstructed files, this software confirms with absolute certainty that no data was lost during the split and reconstruction process.
AccuSplit is also capable of creating RAID-formatted file segments that come embedded with a very powerful RAID-style error correction mechanism. This allows the software to correct data errors on damaged media, ranging from a single corrupted data byte on a scratched CD to an entirely missing file segment - this option is fully correctable.
In addition, AccuSplit includes a Video Smart Split mode that can split AVI (including DIVX / XVID / INDEO / DV-AVI), WMV, WMV-HD, DVR-MS, and MPEG-1 format files (including Video-CD) into independently playable segments without a lengthy video re-rendering process. You can split large videos into CD-sized (or any other size) segments and play them back directly from the CD - no file reconstruction is required.
Moreover, the software includes a Video Preview option that allows the user to manually adjust the location of the file split points, avoiding splits in the middle of an important scene. AccuSplit runs as a stand-alone executable, so there is nothing to install, and it does not include any annoying AdWare plug-ins. The software is compatible with Windows [95 / 98 / ME / NT / 2000 / XP / Server2003 / Vista].
In conclusion, AccuSplit is a highly recommended software that provides a smooth experience in splitting large files into smaller segments. Its comprehensive functionality, compatibility with popular formats, and error correction mechanisms make it a must-have for anyone who deals with large files or videos regularly.
