right, my fault ; "-ss xx -endpos yy mb" seem to work well on avi, now 
the big issue is to split the vob subtitle....

what i do for my own rip, here ( a job ), i can't : i need to know the 
size ( mb ) of the chapter A-B, thought i could encode each chapter, 
then concat but - as send in a previous mail - didn't work : mencoder 
exit at the end of first file ( cat 1.avi 2.avi | mencoder .... ) ; 
tried avimerge, ok for vid but sound is noisy and out of sync.
