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!

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
