I have an AVI (lossless and encoded) that is about 30-something minutes long, and I'd like to split it into roughly 10 minute segments for, well, Youtube. The frames will be from 0-32947, -59545, -94138, and -117857. Any suggestions? I'm assuming I'll have to split the lossless first and then encode the segments, but I'm not sure if I can do that with, say, VirtualDub, or if I have to use something else entirely.

You don't need to split it. VirtualDub can encode a specific range. Go in Video --> Select Range...

You can also use those arrow buttons at the end to set the start and ending of your range, but before use the buttons with a key to make sure you are starting from a keyframe (that's mostly for encoded videos).

I just split them from the lossless AVI using VirtualDub, copied the streams, and then used MEncoder on all of them individually. It seems to have worked -- thanks for all the suggestions.

FYI, you can also use mencoder itself to split avis. (See its -ss and -endpos options.)
