Didn't work for me. The best I got was a bunch of spewage about skipping frame:

Skipping frame! Pos: 91.2s 2966f ( 1%) 1141.65fps Trem: 3min 7018mb A-V:0.068 [8466:192] Skipping frame! Pos: 91.5s 2976f ( 1%) 1142.42fps Trem: 3min 7041mb A-V:0.068 [8466:192] Skipping frame!

On the other hand, mplayer also doesn't like playing the movie ISO I'm trying to split (xine plays it just fine):

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 8274887 bytes).
Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.

and the suggested -ni option doesn't help. So it could be my mencoder/mplayer setup has gotten wonky.

Mark, if this works for you, please post your results.

Thanks,
Dave
