I've never used this for such big files,
but take a look at Xplico, it's a protocol dissector at the application layer level with a web GUI, it's pretty powerful so i would take a look, it's also distributed in a preinstalled virtualbox VM, so you can give it a try without bothering about the installation.

Yes, tshark generally requires much less memory, from need not to
build the packet list (which comprises a very significant portion of
the Wireshark memory usage) and some of the structures not maintainted
through multiple passes.  It's quite powerful, and I use it in many
cases specifically because of capture size.

I don't know for sure, but I'd assume that it uses significantly less memory
than Wireshark, because I don't think it would try to load the whole file at
once.
