How can I split a video every X minutes using iMovie or some other Mac software, outputting the split videos to a folder, named by section (e.g. "video1of4", "video2of4")?

QuickTime Pro does a great job using the Trim feature. It's intuitive too.

VLC has an "Exporting Wizard" that will let you subset. VLC also has a CLI interface so you should be able to automate it.

More content, such as actual instructions of the GUI and/or CLI interface, would be grand. – Jason Salaz Jul 22 '11 at 2:48

I used to do splits using ffmpeg on Fedora . I don't have the exact command handy though.

You could install ffmpeg and mplayer tools on OS X .
