I've been using the following 'recipe' on my Win2K WS for a while now,
and doesn't give me any trouble at, whilst still offering frame or GOP
accurate editing and no re-encoding.

1) Transfer .nuv files to Win2K box
2) Open file(s) in ProjectX to fix and demux them
3) Open file(s) in Cuttermaran to edit and produce MPG file
4) Use DVDHive (Windows frontend for the mplex tools) to create the ISO
5) Burn using Nero or any other burning app.

A couple of the steps could be combined into one as mentioned above if
running Linux, but on my 2G P4 it all takes about 10 minutes and then
I'm good to burn.
