no, if you split the movie, it'll be two files for your DVD software.... but
you can easily put two big clips together into one file using Movie Maker to
render it again from the two big clips...
splitting a project helps if it's too complex to render with your current
memory and settings.
my newsletter #8 was about splitting complex projects... it's online, with a
link on the bottom of the Problem Solving > Can't Save a Movie page of my
website.
