How to cut movies without reencoding?????????

[incredible]

Hi,

I just captured a TV-Movie with a DC30 on an oldie-goldie MAC 9500 with G3/500 upgrade.
Quality is ok. size is 768x576 (PAL) and the mJPEG-A stream's bitrate is 1 MB/sec including audio.
Now ... I want to cut out the commercial-spots...

I know, when I used Quicktime ... I could delete passages of the video and "save" the file again without!! reencoding the video excluding the deleted passages. But the quicktime timeline isn't exact enough for frame-cutting.
I have Premiere 6.0 ..... now the question.....
Is it possible only to cut passages with premiere and "save" the movie again without reencoding but maintain the kompression as it had like quicktime does???

Thanks a lot!!

QT is not bad, you can cut most of the commersials out with the tabs at the bottom, and then if you move the tabs to the end you can use the delete key to delete frame by frame forward then backwards to delete the commercials perfectly. I have done it pleanty of time before.

WOW "earlygrace" .... delicious advice!!!

And if you can say me now if I can crop the black borders at the top and the bottom with quicktime (maybe also after that cropping to "save" without reencoding) .... than Quicktime will be the perfect anti-commercial tool for me
