If anybody has a solution for using GOPchop to successfully remove
commercials that results in useable video, I'd love to hear what it is!

GOPchop cuts the video, sure. But everything after the first cut is
unuseable for producing (X)SVCDs or DVDs. I've spent considerable time
trying to work around this and so far haven't found a solution. Even if
I fix the time indexes in the video (a minor issue) the audio is unuseable.

I never would have believed there were no free tools on Linux useable
for cutting MPEG2-PS files, but that seems to be the case.

GOPchop results in unuseable files after the first cut.
mpgtx has no working method to specify a range or cutpoint.

At first I was looking for a way to edit out commercials easily. Now
it's become a quest to do it at all. It's frustrating after several
years of doing this easily on other platforms.
