I would like to know of a good program that can cut by frame as it is the only way to cut accurately, I tried the following and I have the following issues:
---------------------------------
AVI MPEG ASF WMV Splitter
(DOES NOT KNOW THERE IT STANDS, AND THE 01:01:xxx timeline is crazy it will show frames from another second in the same second, you really don't know where you're cutting from, it will cut the video well if you give it the right amount of time without padding or reencoding which is good but just the concept of having h:m:s:000 is out of the place as one second can't have 999 frames and it doesn't even do the equivalent like if a movie second has 2 frames it will not go from 0 to 500! instead will go to 001 and when it reaches 999 which is supposed to be in the same second, will be like from the 20second after.
---------------------------------
TMPGEnc 2.5 cutter

a little better in showing the right frame being cut from, but it will not cut exactly as is told.
---------------------------------
mpeg-vcr
Too much padding overhead and will increase your file size.
Good sync with the movie on the preview window when showing h:m:s:frames instead of thousands of miliseconds which is the correct way, but after cutting your video appears to look diferent as if it was poorly reencoded.
--------------------------------

I need the perfect cutter, any ideas?

I tried it, and it was ok at first but after multiplexing the audio and video with tempgc, I opened the mv2 on the cutterman, and it loaded the mp2 automatically but the resulted mpg had audio loss at about 80% of the movie done, so why did this happen?

I recommended MPEG2VCR in another post. If you use it correctly, it should never cause your video to look worse. It's counter intutitive, but the correct way to use it is to mark the beginning and end of each segment you want to keep, copy those segments to the clip board, and then combine them back together and save the final result. If you try to use MPEG2VCR to delete video and then save the final result, although this is the intuitive way to do things, your final result will be poor.
I think there is a small guide on how to use MPEG2VCR at
