I don't know.  I use virtualdub (in Wine and native Windows) and I use
VideoReDo (in Wine and in native Windows).  Video ReDo is MPEG only
and costs money, but was useful enough for me to be worth a $50
lifetime license.  This is primarily because of all the trouble I've
had trying to do the same things with free software.  Sorry.

There may be good open solutions for this that I'm not aware of.
