Umm, no: avidemux only produces valid files for non-GOP cuts if you
recode the video. When cutting without recode, it'll happily accept and
perform a cut at an arbitrary frame, but you may end up with a file
starting with a couple of orphaned B-frames.

So far the only reliable external cutter is projectx; also doesn't do
frame-accurate cuts but at least it rounds cutpoints to the nearest gop
boundary instead of breaing your files.
