			Cuts a video at specified start and end time(s) and saves copy(ies) to new file(s)
			First argument is file name, then pairs of start and end times, as many as you like, e.g.: 
				
				cut-video.py myvid.mp4   4.5-2:14   5:13.7-10:00
					
			Be aware that FFmpeg seeks for the nearest keyframe. Therefore the cut may not be at the exact timestamp.			
			FFmpeg copies the bitrstream, and the new file is a lossless copy.
