What is the source according to mediainfo. If it's a DVB from myth and 
if it's a recent version of ffmpeg then
A. mediainfo -f  source.mpg | grep "Frame count" gives you the amount of 
frames, devide by 2. Also grep Duration.
B. ffmpeg -vframes outcome of above -i source.mpg -vcodec copy -acodec 
copy -f mpg 1sthalf.mpg
C. ffmpeg -ss half of Duration -i source.mpg -vcodec copy -acodec copy 
-f mpg 2ndhalf.mpg
