Apparently the command was the correct one, I just had to use a
different video source probably the one I was testing with had some
kind of problems in the stream of bytes.

I'm currently testing on this file:

and the splitting works just fine with the aforementioned method.

OK, but isn't it just for windows? I need something that works on
Linux and OS X as well.
