Hi. I'm trying to accomplish some editing with mjpegtools and I keep running
into problems with AVI file size limits. Here's what I'm trying to do:

I have a 1.6GB source XviD AVI file. This single file contains a number of
episodes, each about half an hour long or less, and I want to put each
episode into its own file. 

I'm starting by using mplayer to decode the source file, sending its output
to a fifo which gets catted into 'yuv2lav -o video.avi'. I run into file
size limits if I try to do the whole source at once. If I have mplayer only
play a single episode, that will result in a file small enough for the
video, but not the audio (lavaddwav complains about AVI file size limit).

I realize I can have yuv2lav chop up its input into smaller AVI files, but
I'm not sure how I'd get the audio chopped up exactly the same way so it is
in sync in each file. The HOWTO has you do the video and audio in two
different steps. 

Even if I did manage to have the audio & video in sync in those smaller
parts, I'd have to join it all together at the end somehow.

So, can anyone provide any suggestions for working around these file size
limits for what I'm trying to do?
