Hallo > 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. The mjpegtools only support the old spec for AVI, with the 2GB filesize limit. If you like to work with single large file use quicktime.

You could cut it manual, run first, lavinfo on the file, you know the length of the file and can cut the audio than. > 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.

Why, when you have several small parts the mjpegtools can handle several files at once: lav2yuv same for lav2wav. Or you create a editlist file with glav/lavplay: glav file1.avi file2.avi ... filen.avi And create afterwards you editlistefiles with your episodes, and encode them: lav2yuv episode1.eli | ... lav2yuv episode2.eli | ... > So, can anyone provide any suggestions for working around these file size > limits for what I'm trying to do?
