Best Program to cut a MPEG2 file?

[reckless67]

I have captured music videos from my sat in MainConcept in MPEG2 720x480 and I would like to cut them into individual videos. Can anyone recomend a good program to do this.

Thanks

I like Video Studio 7.

I use Womble's MPEG-VCR to edit commercials out of TV programs and it works great. No recoding and it makes perfect cuts. Also fairly fast compared to Moviefactory-3.

I used Womble MPEG-VCR to split the videos up, and it did a great job. I then used TMPGENC DVD Author to author my videos into a DVD. My MPEG2 files were captured @ 720x480 and the audio was PCM. In TMPGENC I chose the same settings. Then after it created the DVD files I let it burn it to a DVD-RW @ 2X speed. When I played it in my Panasonic RP-82 it was really jumpy. The vob files on my hard drive play ok, so i'm guessing this jumping was due to the burning process?

I have previously downloaded videos (in vcd format) and used Ulead DVD Workshop 2 and it turned out fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

VideoReDo will do it and it's amazingly fast; no re-encode.

They have a free trial version on their website.

Womble is incredible.

I've been using Womble and I just noticed that it re-encodes my audio to MPEG audio, which I capture in PCM. Is there any way to cut my files and keep my PCM audio?

Thanks

I use TMPGE as well. No problem so far, but you'll need mpeg2 codec
