Cutting Mpeg2 - what soft?

[Ufit]

Hey!

It's a real pain. I wanna cut out commercials from Mpeg2 file and
programs like Winproducer and Tmpegenc reencode the file 1 more time!!
It is way longer than jus cut and join like avi with Vdub.
Is there any faster soft not changing the edited file??
Help me!

I use honestech video editor 5. Works great and rejoins fast when combined.

Mpeg can only be cut on an I-Frame. Regardless of what program you are using to cut, this is always going to be the case. Programs like TMPGenc and such are not re-encoding the whole file, they are inserting an I-Frame at the specified point, if one does not already exist, and are re-encoding all the other frames in that GOP. The only way to avoid this is to only allow cutting on an I-Frame, which many mpeg cutters do, but then you do not get frame accurate cuts. This is actually a much better way to cut though because it maintains sync better. I have never got a compliant, in sync mpeg out of TMPGenc's cutting options and personally, I think it is the worst mpeg2 cutter on the market.

BBMPeg does a good job of cutting mpeg2. Other than that, I don't really have any recommendations. Cutting and joining mpeg2 is just really messy.
