i'm exploring ways to split a movie file into N separate/complete/shorter files programmatically. Do any of you have suggestions for what software or scripting language to do this?

I do not necessarily want to break them down and reassemble them again, rather i just want to split, for example, myMovie.avi into myMovie1.avi, myMovie2.avi, ..., myMovieX.avi

I'm currently exploring Flash, Ruby, Python, Java and more for the best option. Please let me know!

It's a pretty straightforwad process that you can achieve with any scripting language and something like ffmpeg. I think this could be of help: http://icephoenix.us/notes-for-myself/auto-splitting-video-file-in-equal-chunks-with-ffmpeg-and-python/
