    I'm trying to cut out some exact partial video from the start of a movie, not that much, just probably a few frames. I know about -ss but it's not working out too well. It seems to be 'snapping' to seconds, so it's either cutting too much or too little. Is there a way to seek to certain frames like -frames but in reverse?

    You can use mplayer to create an edl, then have mencoder use that edl for encoding. Using mplayer to create the edl is easy, or if you know the frames you can just create the text file yourself.

    Linux _is_ user-friendly. It is not ignorant-friendly and idiot-friendly.

    Unfortunately this seems to behave exactly as setting the -ss option.

  4. (sorry to resurrect, google led me to it). using -hr-edl-seek option on mencoder might help.
    There are also some other options that may be more accurate: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AjWmZ0umsuZHdHNzZVhuMTkxTHdYbUdCQzF3cE51Snc&hl=en
