Cutting MKV files without recompression
I'd like to cut out clips from an .mkv video.
How can I do that, without recompressing the file?

FFmpeg supports MKV, and should let you capture a given portion of the input file without transcoding.
Remember that MKV is just a container, so you may need to set the output video and audio codecs to match the input.
For example, to cut out 20 seconds starting from 1:50 minutes, use:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -ss 00:01:50 -c copy -t 20 output.mkv
The -ss option can be placed in front of -i, resulting in faster copying but less accuracy. If you experience out-of-sync audio or video, you're going to have to re-encode the file though:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -ss 00:01:50 -c:v libx264 -c:a libfaac -t 20 output.mkv
