Yes.

Yes.

It takes longer ten with 10.

So how did you do it? What have you already tried?

Create a text file with one line for each segment to be deleted
from the output video.  The format is:
    beginTime EndTime 1
You can have as many deleetd segments as you like.  Then run
mencoder with the above file (the command is something
like this command):
    mencoder in.avi -oac copy -ovc copy -edl editlist.txt -o out.avi
However, ffmpeg is supposedly replacing mencoder, so I was
hoping someone here knows the equivallent way of doing this in ffmpeg.

But thanks for your answer.  I didn't know about meld before.
