The mjpeg-tools can currently only handle 2GB files on a 32Bit Platform. 
The supoort for files larger than 2GB will be implemented.

Your command is quit correct. If you use -f 4 you dont need the -b 2500
-S 650.
The -b ist set by default to that value. The -S option is set to a
larger value (730MB) which still fit without problems on a CD in Mode 2.
You do not need to use the %d when encoding. You only need the %d when
multiplexing. 

BTW: If you use -S you should also check if you need the -B option.

BTW2: Have you checked the mjpeg-howto section: Creating SVCD.

Nothing. You need to split the file int 2GB pieces. 

auf hoffentlich bald,
