I have been using IUVCR to capture and convert TV Shows onto my computer into DivX 4.11 files. Now that I have the files on my system I would like to cut out the commercials. I have been using VirtualDub to do this but it seems that it isn't cutting where I tell it to. I read many posts in the forums and found that you can only cut from keyframe to keyframe in VirtualDub. Is there a program I could use that would cut at the exact frames whether they are keyframes or not because the keyframes aren't always where the commercials starts or ends. If there is no program that will do this is there a way to change how many keyframes there are to get them closer together? Will this affect capture performance (drop frames)? The end result I would like to get is a VCD maybe I should convert to VCD then cut the commercials out.

Try Adobe's Premiere. You can download it from the Tools section on the left, but it is only a Trial version, and the full one costs a lot, but it's a professional video editing program. It's the best video editing program made.

As your outputting to VCD the easiest answer would be to use TMPGEnc to convert, and use the source function to remove the parts you don't want.
There was a time you cold only remove bits from the beginning and end with this superb encoder but now you can also take out bits from the middle (without creating two seperate mpeg2 files).
Seems the easiest solution, and is my preferred method (but only if I'm trimming, anything else and I use Pinnacle Studio to edit the avi before encoding).
This Guide shows you how to 'source range', ie. take out the cr*p you don't want.
Let us know how you go on

This is a good explanation of using the source/range, but can you do this as an actual edit of the file? If, say in a typical TV show you have 4 sets of commercials, can you edit out the commercials using this method? The example only shows cutting a movie (with no commercials) in half so it fits on 2 disks. Nothing here for multiple edits. That would be a boon if the author of TMPGEnc would make it so you can cut out everything you don't want in one go with multiple In/Out points, instead of just one...
Please show how you go about cutting all the adverts out of a typical TV show episode with the TMPGEnc method. It's not clear from this example... -
