Thank you (all of you), avidemux will do the clipping and such that I wanted, 
although the output formats available are either not quite what I want or have 
different names than I expect. In any case, I can get the job done, that's the 
main thing. I saved you suggestion, I will certainly keep it and some others if 
I find my needs have expanded.
