The latest SVN has a new mythtranscode that supports cutting only, in 
that it does no transcoding, it only cuts based on cutlist. On my 600MB 
test files it cut the whole file in oh, ten seconds? You have to 
manually set it up though. Search the myth-dev list for 'mpeg2fix' 
and/or look at recent SVN commits for that or mythtranscode.
