accurate enough to trust with actually deleting chunks of video.
    

I think the transcoder already does this. :)  It even handles reencoding
the frames around the cut so it doesn't have to cut exactly on a keyframe,
it will cut at the exact frame and reencode only what is necessary.

Really?  Because when I was trying to cut out commercials from my recordings, I set the transcoder to the exact same encoding options as my recording encoding options, and it still took a while (less then when I was converting from RTJPEG to MPEG4, but still quite a while) to run.  If what you are saying is true, shouldn't it only take a few seconds?  At most a few minutes?  How many frames would need to be changed?  Not very many, I would think.

It's not a big deal for the transcoding to take so long, but it would nice if an option existed for a quick splice.
