[Cin] Segmented Recording from input stream

Is it possible with CinGG's Record utility (via FFMPEG) to record a 
stream to file segments of same duration or file size and use auto-naming?

Typical example:
Record a video/audio input stream (i.e from playing a camcorder tape 
cassette) and encode to output file segments of 10 minutes or 10 GB each 
and auto-name file numbers.

Similar example code using an input file instead at
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/1670/how-can-i-use-ffmpeg-to-split-mpeg-video-into-10-minute-chunks

Just use what is built into ffmpeg to do exactly this.

|ffmpeg -i invid.mp4 -threads 3 \ -vcodec copy *-f segment -segment_time 
10:00 \ -reset_timestamps 1 \ cam_out_h264_%02d.mp4* |

This will split it into roughly 10-minute chunks, split at the relevant 
keyframes, and will output to the files *|cam_out_h264_01.mp4|, 
|cam_out_h264_02.mp4|*, etc.
