with the -endpos switch

-endpos <[[hh:]mm:]ss[.ms]|size[b|kb|mb]> (also see -ss and -sb) 
 Stop at given time or byte position. 
 NOTE: Byte position is enabled only for MEncoder and will not be accurate, as 
it can only stop at a frame boundary. When used in conjunction with -ss 
option, -endpos time will shift forward by seconds specified with -ss. 

 EXAMPLE: 
-endpos 56
 Stop at 56 seconds. 
-endpos 01:10:00
 Stop at 1 hour 10 minutes. 
-ss 10 -endpos 56
 Stop at 1 minute 6 seconds. 
-endpos 100mb
 Encode only 100 MB.
