A momentary contact, normally open switch (i.e. unlit doorbell
button), temporarily wired across the cancel terminals would work, I
think.

I fooled with iMovie for a bit over a year ago; I'm quite sure it
could do similar edits (perhaps just cuts, not fades).  Isn't there
some Windows movie maker program that comes with recent windows
versions that could do the same?  I believe I've installed it but
never tried it.  Point being: you may already have some tools that can
do this.  Be warned, however, that I've never seen anything so quickly
suck up time as trying to edit audio or video to get it "just right."
:-)

My recipe for a "virtual jukebox" mp3 player: Take one of these
videos, changer noise and all, and play it.  But cut off audio when
the song starts playing, and substitute the next mp3 song you're
supposed to play.  Add groove noise to taste.  Split the record
playing video into 1.333 second slices (or, in case my math is off,
whatever one revolution of a 45 RPM record takes).  Repeat or skip
these slices so that it matches the length of the MP3 song.  When the
song's over, switch back to the audio of the record changing...

Totally pointless, of course.  Just thought I'd share. :-)
