I haven't used it that much, but I'm pretty sure with Avidemux you just
set the A and B positions and then save the file.

See this extremely simple tutorial:

Essenstially, move to the start location and hit the A button along the
bottom of the window, then move to the end location and hit the B
button.  Then hit the Save button.  I *think* that's all there is to it.
