Actually, using -edl you can tell it exactly which parts of a file you 
want it to skip.  As always, read the man page/docs.

Before that, I'd suggest the opposite...  Make '-edl' work with 
mencoder, that would provide a good, simple, editing solution (maybe 
with the help of a small, simple, frontend.)

Yeah, I know...  -dumpstream, but that's not really optimal, just as 
using mencoder with -endpos to re-encode a video, just so you can stop 
it at a given position, isn't optimal.
