New submission from CBee <[email protected]>:

The -fs option is to specify the file-size. Currently it just chops at the given
size in bytes and then halts.

It would be nice if the processing continues to a next file if the '%d', '%3d'
or '%03d' is in the file, just as with splitting a movie to separate pictures.
See "ffmpeg -i foo.avi -r 1 -s WxH -f image2 foo-%03d.jpeg" from `man ffmpeg`.

For the continuity of the resulting files, it might be necessary to find a
reasonable split point just before the filesize is reached. Hence, not split
half way a picture but at the last full gop or whatever the format specifies.

Currently I like this to split films to within 2 GB filesize, as my media-player
cannot coop with larger files.

Other usage can include continuous webcam capture. For this, if '%02d' is used,
then the number is copped at 2 positions: after "99" continue with "00", "01"
and so on. With %03d around 998, 999, 000, 001...
