Cutting will do, the I-frame limitation is ok. The problem with the 
original container/codec is that it cannot be played with mplayer, the 
video plays too slow. And I need a way to reencode videos to a dvd 
compatible format.

Maybe I should open an mplayer thread for the problem of mplayer playing 
my files too slowly.
