Cut commercials from MCE2k5

[Eagle117]

I know that a .ms-dvr file is just an MPEG2 stream wrapped into an asf with extra metadata on it that is produced by Microsoft Media Center Edition 2005 when recording. I'm looking for a good, easy, and hopefully cheap way to cut the commercials out of these files to record to a DVD. Right now the only one I have found is NeroVision express which will do it but it lags way down after the first or second commercial is cut out and it must do a full re-encode every time.

I've looked around at the other tools available on this site and some seem farily easy to use but none natively support ms-dvr files as far as I can tell. Anyone know of anything that is for sure able to work with these files natively that is worth anything?

I use the following utility I found on MSDN to do my editing on dvr-ms files prior to converting/encoding.

It is pretty easy to use, is very fast and outputs a new dvr-ms file with your edits.
