MPEG2 cutting and editing

[Founder]

I have a DVD ( 13 Days ) that has a lot of deleted footage that has been included on the end of the DVD. I would like to edit these back into the movie and make a SVCD. I know how to encode into mpeg2 for SVCD, but I don't know how to cut and join the files back together. This is made harder by the fact that I have to cut a little bit off the start of the extra as it is the same as in the movie. I would like a tool that can cut and paste the mpg's, but not re-encode.

Can anyone help?
Any Suggestions?
Am I crazy for attempting this? :p

tmpg's mpeg tools can do that.. however these tools are not really perfect and often fail in which case you will have to look for a commercial solution like mpeg2vcr or m2-edit.

As a workaround you can do this stuff in an Avisynth script, by defining and moving and merging lots of different clips. Granted this will be a hassle since you have to write down all the frame numbers for the different portions but if you do it right the result will be perfect.

Alternatively you can do separate d2v files for the sections with DVD2AVI's range buttons ([ and ]), then load them all up in Avisynth and return them in the right order.
