Problems editing and compressing DVB files

[funkybro_uk]

Hi

I am having absolutely no luck editing or compressing files I've recorded in GB-PVR from my DVB-T tuners. I want to edit out commercials then either compress to DivX or convert to DVD format. So how do you guys do it? Is there a foolproof way?

For editing I have tried:
- Using the Cut facility in TMpgEnc. This results in a perfectly cut video, however the results seem to be compressed to a ridiculously poor pixellated level. How can I get it to just cut the video without recompressing or changing format at all?

- Using Mpeg2Schnitt. This crashes during the cutting of any of the videos I give it. Then I read that when using DVB it is useful to...

- Process the video using PVAStrumento. However the current version (2.1.0.15) crashes as soon as I try and open any of my videos. I tried an older version (2.0.30), and used the "make PS" function. But this just produces a file that is corrupted in some way. The file is the same size as the original. But when I play it in media player it plays the first few seconds then stops. And Mpeg2Schnitt and TMpgEnc both reject it.

Any help appreciated.
