I think you are looking for option -endpos.  Quoting from the manual
page:

  -endpos <[[hh:]mm:]ss[.ms]|size[b|kb|mb]> (also see -ss and -sb)
       Stop at given time or byte position.
       NOTE: Byte position may not be accurate, as it can only
       stop at a frame boundary.  When used in conjunction with
       -ss option, -endpos time will shift forward by seconds
       specified with -ss if not a byte position. In addition it
       may not work well or not at all when used with any of the
       -dump options.

     EXAMPLE:
        -endpos 56
             Stop at 56 seconds.
        -endpos 01:10:00
             Stop at 1 hour 10 minutes.
        -ss 10 -endpos 56
             Stop at 1 minute 6 seconds.
        mplayer -endpos 100mb
             Stop playback after reading 100MB of the input file.
        mencoder -endpos 100mb
             Encode only 100 MB.

Hope this helps
