What is the purpose of these segmented files (how will they be used)? Are 
they going to be processed and then assembled together (which may involve 
decode/recode operations). Depending on the unknown intermediate work, it 
may be faster overall to decode all into an uncompressed state and work on 
that before concatenating into a reencode pass (which could also be done in 
segments which are then themselves concatenated).


Also, please post some of the commands you've used.
