I tried this, and it didn't work.  It complained about a missing ')' or too many
args in 'between(n'
    ffmpeg -i IN.avi -vf select = 'between(n,32,42)' OUT.avi

I also tried this, and it produced an output file, but that was the same as the
original: the select filter didn't do anything:

ffmpeg -i IN.avi -vf select = 'between(n,32,42)' -vcodec copy -acodec copy OUT.avi

So, what's an example of something that would work for me?  I have raw pixels
as input and I want raw pixels as output (no mpeg encoding).  

I don't know what options like 'setpts=N/FRAME_RATE/TB' mean.  I'm
more used to mencoder, not ffmpeg, but trying to learn.
