Clip without re-encoding?

[uwidev]

Not too sure if this is entirely possible but, is it possible to extract sections without re-encoding, or at least keeping the exact same format as the original?

I think this would make a really good way to extract sections from very long videos, but if it re-encodes the entire section, I'm assuming it would take longer.

extract sections without re-encoding

ffmpeg -i vid.mov -c copy -ss X -to Y out.mov

If you extract a portion of a clip without re-encoding, the boundaries are going to be quite rough. If you need a precise cut, you have to re-encode.

We could add the following command as a shortcut to this add-on.
