	Hmmm, I think the real problem is lav2yuv in this case.   mpeg2enc

	How large is the single .avi file?  Is it less than 2GB?  Kino might
	support the ODML AVI format that allows larger files but lav2yuv
	does not and might stop after the first 2GB.

	The manpage for lav2yuv suggests it will accept multiple inputfiles.

	Perhaps  something like this:

	lav2yuv file1 file2 file3 ... | mpeg2enc ...

	will work for you.
