mencoder is about as lean as you're going to get. It's about a 7MB download for Windows, smaller for POSIX systems like Linux.
That's what I use. Look up "edit decision lists", or EDL. They mark chunks you want to take out.
To make the edl, play under video with:
mplayer -edlout somefile.edl thevideo.mpeg
Use your spacebar to mark sections to cut.
Edit the edl in a text editor if you want, thrn run the final edit something like:
mplayer -edl.somefile.edl thevideo.mpeg newcopy.mpeg
The script I actually use is:
#!/bin/sh
edl=/tmp/edl.$$
echo "playing video, please press 'i' to start and end skips"
sleep 2
mplayer -ao sdl -quiet -edlout $edl $2 $3 "$1"
echo -e "\n\nPreviewing video...\n"
sleep 2
mplayer -ao sdl -edl $edl "$1"
echo -e "\n\nTo change timing, edit $edl\n\n"
echo -e "New name?: "
read newname
mencoder "$1" -edl $edl -oac copy -o "$newname" -ovc copy
On Windows you can run it by hand, adjust the above to be a bat file, or use cygwin.
