video cutting software?

[vinboy]

hi
I am looking for software that is able to cut videos.
For example, I only want to keep a scene of a video and I would like to remove the front and end scenes.
Is there any software to do these things? I don't want to have to re-encode the video too because it may take alot of time.

Please suggest.
thanks

I've been researching video editors a bit lately. I haven't played around with them much though. Here's a linux.com article i found that reviews kino and cinelerra: http://www.linux.com/articles/60624.

You could also have a look at LiVES: http://lives.sourceforge.net/.

Dunno if they're overkill for your needs or not. Dunno if you can get away with not re-encoding them either, especially if you chop off the front end of a clip.
