how to split DV files on Mac OS ?

"Hi! I brought back footage from community events we produced in Thailand on an external HDD. I want to burn them to DVD-R DLs to ensure we don't lose precious material to a simple hard drive crash!

Some of my DVs are over 8GB - thus I cannot burn them onto one disk.

anyone know of a good free utility I can use to split my DV files into manageable pieces?"
