I've had a lot of success with Avidemux - ignore the name, it works with most formats - it's certainly the fastest I've seen at cutting / joining, and because it copies streams where at all possible it also doesn't reduce the quality in the way that some do.
It's also free under the GNU licence: www.avidemux.org
Extracting a chunk is simple:
Open the file (CTRL+O or "File...Open"
Move the slider to the start point. Press the "A" button
Move the slider to the end point. Press the "B" button.
Set the output format (annoyingly, it always defaults to AVI)
Save the file (CTRL+S or "File...Save") under a new name. This normally takes seconds or a minute.
Done.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
