I have used multiple varyations of file compressors, spltters and par
generators, including the ones in your text file instructions, over
the years and have found that there is no advantage to compressing
binary files like movies. In fact, compressing movies can even result
in larger files than you started out with.
I have also found that it is much easier (and faster) to just use
Multipar to both split the file and generate par's for it in a single
drag-and-drop operation.
Multipar is freeware that can be downloaded from
https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Back-Up-and-Recovery/MultiPar.shtml
As a courtesy, thumbnail images should also be provided for any movie
that is posted so that people with limited download speeds or quotas
konw what they are getting before using their allotment to download
it. Video Thumbnail Maker by Scorp is probably the easiest one to use
(just google it to find a copy).
This all makes up a simple 3 step process, eg.
1 - generate a thumbnail image of the movie.
2 - generate the par's and split the movie with Multipar.
3 - upload the thmbnail image, split parts and par's with a program
like PowerPost.
