Jonathan, I have written a simple Python library for editing and joining of Mpeg-2 Elementary Streams. It is frame-accurate, but only re-encodes the GOPs that are edited. Therefore it is fairly fast. It uses mpeg2dec and mpeg2enc distributed by the mjpeg project. It also allows the extraction of single frames as Python Imaging Library (PIL) objects. Get the tarball here: http://mlug.missouri.edu/~markrages/software/python_mpeg You may also be interested in my gop_fixup program to adjust timestamps. The new version works with "large files" (> 2GB) and reads the framerate from the file. Same website.
