My original post explained how to determine where the runs of black are, using 
ffmpeg (libavfilter)'s "blackdetect." The only piece left is applying the edits 
in a practical fashion.

Rolling your own with opencv would be a whole lot more work. I'm not entirely 
sure that I agree with Carl Eugen that ffmpeg isn't a video editing tool, but 
if it's not, Python certainly isn't. Yes, you can make it work. But you're 
going to spend a lot more time doing it than if higher level tools were used.

The goal here is for higher-level tools, not lower-level ones.

Or I might just end up using ffmpeg to split it into 7,000 files and then 
concatenating them. That's hardly the worst thing in the world.
