Comment (by Cigaes):

 What you are missing is that frames are not just images, they have
 additional information, and in particular a timestamp. The {{{select}}}
 filter selects frames, but it does not change them. If you use it to
 remove five minutes of video, the timestamps will still show the five
 minutes gap, and the muxer will take it into consideration while
 maintaining A-V sync, and a player should take it into account too. This
 is the expected behaviour.
