It might be easier to just implement a cut file in one of the Linux
media player.
xine does this for DVDs.
You can have a simple file, that xine loads when playing a DVD. xine
will then automatically skip selected portions of the video. This has
been used by users to cut out bits of a movie that they consider are
not appropriate for their children. I doubt it would take much to
implement this for all media files.
