Editing a video without re-rendering

I have a video that I needed to cut into two files. Actually, I just wanted to dump the last 40 minutes of a 1 hr and 40 minute video.

It's a TV recording that went too long.

It's a WMV file, 1280 x 720. I edited and rendered it (took forever), but, it obviously lost some quality going through the re-rendering process.

Any tips would be appreciated. I think I saw something in the help files about editing mpg files and not having to re-render it, but, I can' t find that bit and don't know if I can do the same for WMV files.
