Hm, I haven't encountered this problem. What software do you use to check this,
xine?

Why not use VDR for this? I know, it's not elegant, but I have found no other
program capable to split MPEG2 program streams.

Use this number for the MAXVIDEOFILESIZE in VDR's dvbapi.c:

     //#define MAXVIDEOFILESIZE (1084*1024*1024) // Byte
     #define MAXVIDEOFILESIZE PUT_YOUR_NUMBER_HERE

PUT_YOUR_NUMBER_HERE will be (about) the length of the .vdr files in bytes.
Then recompile and restart VDR and use the cut option of vdr to cut the video
into pieces of the size you need.

I use this as a preprocessing step when producing SVCDs from VDR files. If you
are interested in this process you should visit my site:
