I know exactly the clip you are talking about, and I was wondering if it was the spider scene as well.

Spoiler for the clip:

there is a bit of spiderish web stuff around the moustache part of his beard. ~shudder~

I think you may be right about the break being after the Misty Mountains. However, I kind of see two other places where the break might happen.

Spoiler for Just in case.:

One being the parting of ways at the edge of Mirkwood and the other being right after the Dwarves are taken by the spiders, ending in a cliffhanger.
