Hi to every reader.

I have got a recording of a foklor dance competition. It is one single MPEG1 "system" file. It is "VideoCD ready" (352x288, 25fps, 1150kb-s, 44100Hz stereo 224kb-s).
The recording is 40 minutes long.

I intend to burn it to VideoCD using Nero 5.5.9.9. But I would like to "split" it onto several "sections".
You see, during those 40 minutes a number of competitors SEAMLESSLY exchange on the dancefloor. Music CONTINUOSLY plays all the time.

I would like to split the recording into sections called something like "Competitor 1", "Competitor 2", etc, so the watcher can instantly skip to watch the competitor which interests him. But the playback of the whole recording MUST be "gapless", or as close to that as possible.
I hope you understand the situation.

Now, I do NOT have much experience with VideoCD, SuperVideoCD and DVD authoring. So I am asking here for guidance how to achieve this.

The first idea is to split the recording to multiple files (by using TMPGenc's MPEG tools for example) and burn each part as a separate track. But I fear that this might introduce gaps when changing tracks. Will it?

If there is another, smarter way, I would prefer it. Maybe some "pointers" (like chapters on DVDs) can be used to refer to certain positions in the recording?
