Avidemux is an excellent transcoding tool.  I find its editing features 
a bit awkward, though.  If transcoding isn't your goal, you may want to 
try out DVBCUT, which has lossless MPEG editing as its entire purpose.

I never did get Cinelerra to work.  No matter what I did the video and 
audio were out of sync, making accurate editing impossible.
