split 8gb mpg to 4.5+2.5 gb: pls edit my mencoder code to make batch file

[coenocyte]

So I have wintv pvr usb2. assume that after recording a long show, the file size can be around 8gb (i.e 3 hr program).

I have idea of an easy way to split it using mencoder:

based on this wiki code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEncoder:

mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -ss 0 -endpos 700mb -o movie_part1.avi movie.avi

as well as code from one of the comskip/comclean batch files....


my code is like this:


==================

split-1sthalf.bat

"c:\program files\mplayer\mencoder" -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -ss 0 -endpos 4500mb -o "movie_part1.mpg" "movie.mpg"

==================

split-2ndhalf.bat


"c:\program files\mplayer\mencoder" -ovc copy -oac copy -of mpeg -ss 4490mb -endpos 8000mb -o "movie_part2.mpg" "movie.mpg"

==================

this assumes that mencoder is stored in program files; that your movie is movie.mpg, and that it's 8000mb.

my question is if anyone knows how to create a 1step batch program that will ask for input of file name/directory; find the file size or ask to manually input file size; divide it 2 to split between two dvd-r's w/ some overlapping time (i.e. 3s); and output the result as two new files.

or, similar idea as above, but drag a mpg to batch file and it splits in two.

hopefully, this will be dvd-compliant.[/quote]

I believe this is something VideoReDo can do easily enough. Probably not in batch mode though. Must it be in batch mode?
