Editcap can take a capture file and re-write it based on a number of
command line options.  I think the option for only writing certain
packet numbers is -r, something like

editcap -r myold.cap mynew.cap 1-1000 (substitute your numbers here).

This isn't so much filtering as it is creating a new file.  Editcap can
also do conversions between capture formats.  I don't believe it
supports an option to do this based on timestamps though.
