I would think you'd only need to split the .idx file. It shouldn't be
too hard to write a script to split the file and change the times. You
just have to know the exact running length of each of the files.

The script could take as arguments either the file running lengths of
the files, or the names of the .avi files and use some program to divine
the running lengths.

If I get bored and nobody has done this, maybe I'll hack up a script in
Python.
