You could use mencoder (part of mplayer): mencoder -ss 1:10 -endpos 1:10:00 -oac copy ovc copy -of avi -o\ truncated.avi original.avi Explanation: -ss 1:10 skip the first 1 minute and 10 seconds -endpos 1:10:00 finish at file position 1 hour and 10 minutes (so the truncated video would be 1:08:50 long) -oac copy do not transcode the audio -ovc copy do not transcode the video -of avi write everything into an avi-container -o truncated.avi output file Warning: This simple example doesn't handle additional streams like a second audio or subtitles. Please refer to mencoder's man-page for additional options, or ask here ;) Hope this helps
