Playing with u10: split a video with ffmpeg

I love my u10.
Today i was trying to split the video of Mashape's event in Bicocca (1h+, for 1.2GB).
I did a try with kino and open movie editor. In particular kino, when opening this file, tried to export it in dv format: i killed it when it had done the 30% of the conversion with a .dv file of more than 3GB..

So i was wandering how i could split this huge file. The answer? My beloved ffmpeg.
So:


shatsar@erakis:/tmp/video$ ffmpeg -i sdv_0032.mp4
[..]
Duration: 01:02:48.09, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 2909 kb/s
Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264, yuv420p, 720x480 [PAR 32:27 DAR 16:9], 2766 kb/s, 119.84 fps, 59.94 tbr, 90k tbn, 119.88 tbc
Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 128 kb/s


bitrate 2766 kb/s, fps 119, audio 128kb/s ..impressive (we did this video at the lowest quality of u10)

For example: to take out a video (with a lower bitrate and fps) of 6m and 15s starting from 14m and 39s from the original video i did:


shatsar@erakis:/tmp/video$ ffmpeg -i sdv_0032.mp4 -ss "00:14:39" -t "00:06:15" -b 1800k -r 50 video1.mp4
shatsar@erakis:/tmp/video$ ls -alh video1.mp4
-rw-r--r-- 1 shatsar shatsar 84M 2010-01-29 17:16 video1.mp4


not bad..
