If I'm not mistaken....cutting on a "key frame" is important when copying. I could be wrong though.

If you do any editting in AviDemux, you have to set Video otput to some format, in your case it will be MPEG-PS and encoding format for video to DVD , audio can stay as copy.

I have the exact opposite problem with AviDemux.
AVI cutting is not a problem....but those choices it has for MPEG
output are confusing and IMO....none of them work very well.

I am with you on that one.
Sometime it take me two or three try before I get anywhere.
It generate an error and close, no warning what could be wrong.

This is just a thought.
Since you are cutting, try to set audio to some format instead of copy. See if that works.

Are you using the latest SVN?

Another approach would be to split the VOB's first with mpg2cut2, then encode to XviD/AVI while retaining the original AC3 or MP2
