[MPEG Tools] - [Merge & Cut]

In the case that one just wants to edit the play range of one file, this can be done here as well.
Note that the locations where the file can be cut are governed by the films GOP structure, so a film cannot be arbitrarily cut. The "GOP" structure tab of the "MPEG Settings" window contains more information about the GOP structure.
