To state it clearly: My disk had many many Gigabytes free for the resulting 
files - think it's a problem in the frame-parser which accidently makes the 
cutting thread believe EOF is reached...

@Klaus: if it would help i can try to cut out the section (e.g. using split) 
and send only a small file to you - how large would it have to be?
