I did not mention codecs, because the idea is just to generate a script with the correct cutpoints for use with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i "tvmovie.mpeg" -copyts -ss 00:01:00 -t 02:44:10 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -c:v libx264 -preset medium -vf crop=1886:802:0:140 -c:a copy "output.mkv"

I only need some GUI that generates the --ss and -t or -to, the rest I can do myself.
