The next step would be on the players side: The player could buffer the last min, or 30 sec or something like that and kick out the 1st CD, indicating he wants the next one, so the movie could keep playing without a break and, since it's one container, it wouldn't even be necessary to split keyframe-accurate anymore. Zoomplayer already tries to do something like that when you play multiple avis from harddisk, but for the multi-CD-version you needed a container that tells a player something like "hey, i'm not finished at the end of this file!".

Hope this stuff I wrote makes any sense to you...
Sure, you can have "segments" linked together. It's not supported yet on playback, but it will be (with a friendly name for the user)
