editcap.exe returns "File mycapturefile.pcapng is a Wireshark/... - pcapng capture file"

I'm trying to split a huge capture into 1 hour files like this:

"C:\Program Files\Wireshark\editcap.exe" -v -r -i 3600 myhugecapture.pcapng splits

Where "myhugecapture.pcapng" is the input and "splits" is the name that I want for the outputs.

All I get is this message:

File mycapturefile.pcapng is a Wireshark/... - pcapng capture file.

And a 200 bytes "splits" output file with some garbled content:
