Ethereal (or rather tethereal) can do this using the built in options of -a
and -b.

So, you could set it up to rotate files every 5 minutes or every 1MB,
whichever came first.

Also, since tethereal can put the files back into one larger file, you
could have a sliding window of the last 15 minutes or something like that,
and use tools like tcpflow to extract specific streams.
