How can I cut the first two min of a 10 min video and save it as first_2min.wmv and then the second 2 min saved as second_2min.wmv without any change to the settings of the video in Ubuntu command line? The original format of the video is wmv as well.

You can use ffmpeg to rip the first 2 minutes, etc that you want.
ffmpeg -i 10minvideo.wmv -ss 0 -t 120 first2min.wmv
Then for the next 2 minutes it would be the same but change the -ss 0 to -ss 120:
ffmpeg -i 10minvideowmv -ss 120 -t 120 second2min.wmv
Just remember to set -ss to whatever starting seconds position you want and the -t is the amount of time you are recording from it.
Hope this helps!

@MonaJalal It can be either. You can test the end of the first and the beginning of the second one. – Terrance Nov 30 '20 at 17:01

Also add `-c copy` before the output file name to do a stream copy, avoiding a potentially lossy reencode (although your cuts may not be as precise) – Eric Reed Nov 30 '20 at 23:24

If you want it with a GUI:
Use VideoCut, it is based on ffmpeg and OpenCV. Goal of this app was to eliminate the ffmpeg commandline:
By default is does not re-encode. Your choice is to use the optimized "remux" muxer or the original ffmpeg code
