not sure if this could be a bug

I have a so large pcapgn file(+1.5G ) that I want to to convert it to libpcap
and split it with several different pcap file, 

what I did :

D:\ftp_boot\wireshark-1.3.4\host>editcap.exe -c 1000000 -F libpcap
d:\ftp_boot\gg\1.pcapng d:\ftp_boot\gg\t1.pcap

editcap: Can't open or create d:\ftp_boot\gg\t1_00000_20100331130451.pcap:
Files
 from that network type can't be saved in that format

D:\ftp_boot\wireshark-1.3.4\host>editcap.exe -c 1000000 -F pcapng
d:\ftp_boot\gg\1.pcapng d:\ftp_boot\gg\t1.pcap

editcap: Can't open or create d:\ftp_boot\gg\t1_00000_20100331130451.pcap:
Files
 from that network type can't be saved in that format


Either on Linux:

[root@Ark pp]# tshark -F libpcap -r 1.pcap -w 11.pcap

Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
tshark: The capture file being read can't be written in that format.
