[vlc] can raw video be edited ?

[mail at gaclrecords.org.uk]

I hope my first question is not too off topic. 

I downloaded to my drive a nice hour long video using VLC for the first time, 
just dumping to a raw file . The stream is WMV2 with WMA  and when I name 
the dumped file with .wmv extension it plays beautifully (with no seeking of
course).

Now my two questions...  Is it possible to cut a raw video file like this in the 
same way you can direct cut an MP3 without having to transcode it? If so, with
what tool. Second, I found I could get approximately the few minutes I wanted 
at the end of the file by moving the seek slider but it's not exactly the correct 
length of course. Can I set start and end time in VLC?

Actually one more. Is it possible to rip just the audio from a video stream and
transcode it to WAV? The encapsulate as  WAV seems to produce noise and 
there seems no such audio codec option.

Thanks for a nice tool and player. A shame it does not support Real Media
