You could use mencoder (part of mplayer):

mencoder -ss 1:10 -endpos 1:10:00 -oac copy ovc copy -of avi -o\
truncated.avi original.avi

Explanation:
-ss 1:10 skip the first 1 minute and 10 seconds
-endpos 1:10:00 finish at file position 1 hour and 10 minutes (so the
truncated video would be 1:08:50 long)
-oac copy do not transcode the audio
-ovc copy do not transcode the video
-of avi write everything into an avi-container
-o truncated.avi output file

Warning: This simple example doesn't handle additional streams like a
second audio or subtitles. Please refer to mencoder's man-page for
additional options, or ask here ;)

Hope this helps
